Hi! I got these four beautiful ducklings from tractor supply today, can you help me determine the breeds of them? I think the grey one with yellow chest is a blue Swedish and the one with black middle toes is a Ancona and I’m not sure about the other two. I’m hoping the other two are welsh harlequins…. If the pictures aren’t good enough I can get new ones. Thanks!

How can they be runners? They don’t stand up straight. Maybe they don’t start standing upright until they are older?
That was what I wondered too. It just is the only common breed with that down pattern I can think of. Looking online it seems they may get more upright as time goes on. I have never raised ducks before, just memorize breeds for fun so I can't really speak on the logistics of them standing more upright. @Overo Mare, thoughts?
 
Here is some pics of the ducklings now, they are three weeks old!
