Is these ducks rouens, or mallards. Maybe a mix?

[Pierre duck drake]

I'm thinking about buying some "mallard" ducklings from someone. We asked for a picture of their dad, and something about it makes me think it's not a mallard. Can anyone tell me if the babies are rouens, mallards, or something else?
Here the pictures are! This is the dad.

These are the ducklings that I might be getting. If they are mallards. I blocked off the other ducklings in the last picture because they are blue swedish and a few other breeds.

Can you ask them how much the drake weighs?

@MGG might be able to help.

They look like Rouens. The father appears way too heavy to be a Mallard, and the ducklings in the first pic have a double eye stripe which is indicative of Rouens.

It's not her drake. So she probably wouldn't know. She got the ducklings from her friend and now she's selling them.

That drake is not a mallard = most likely a Rouen or cross.
