I recently purchased these ducks and not sure what breed they are

[Lolame777]

Hi, I recently purchased these 5 ducks including 4 young ducks and a 2 year old female duck. I've done some research on what breed and the previous owner said they were Welsh Harlequins. I think that's the case although I feel that the older duck may be a Silver Appleyard and the others being Welsh Harlequins. Not sure how pure they are as their bills and legs aren't meeting the standards of a purebred Welsh Harlequin.

Can anyone help me identify whether they are purebreds or a cross?

They are absolutely gorgeous and i love them, they are full of character and are super social with my other ducks (Pekin, Payuga, Rouen)Thank you

From left to right, I think:
#1 is Silver Appleyard
#2 is SA
#3 is Welsh Harlequin
#4 are WH drakes
#5 is WH
#6 are WH
#7 is WH
#8 is WH drake

Hi Evadig, thank you for your reply. As you said that's correct, the drakes are in photos 4 and 8. Do you think they're purebred Welsh Harlequins or are they cross bred? Thank you

They look purebred but I don't know for sure .
