Thought this was a silver appleyard so snatched it up today (since I don’t have that breed lol). Someone thought it might be a golden 300 which seemed wrong to me. Thoughts?
Got it at TS today and they said they just came in a day or two ago so it’s less than a week old.

To be clear I’m talking about the yellow one with small black markings. I know the other one is a Swedish. I had to buy a minimum of 2…

It could be, it has the Mohawk but I suspect that Golden 300s are a 3 way cross with Khaki Campbell, Silver Appleyard and maybe Swedish or Pekin. I am only guessing but pictures of Golden 300 ducklings sometimes have the Mohawk. What color is his bill?
 
Hope these help?

And someone on a Facebook post mentioned the Swedish didn’t look gray but looked brown so now I’m wondering what it is… because it does look somewhat brown to me now. I was too excited to think clearly I guess when I saw this one…

I am no expert but that baby looks like an Appleyard to me. As for the other duckling, I was thinking blue Swedish which has brownish down but they have yellow eyeliner and I cannot see any one yours. So, I am not sure what it is.

Here’s some photos of the Swedish. I have other swedish so I saw the markings with yellow bib and went “yep swedish” and didn’t think much else about it at the time. I just wanted the appleyard lol
Now I’m wondering if I was wrong on the swedish.

These were my babies that looked like blue Swedish (they were actually only half Swedish). The color looks like yours but yours looks like it is missing the yellow eyeliner unless it is the angle of your picture?! I do not know enough about Swedish to know if it matters though.
