Runners or khakis, pekin or white layer?

So we're at six weeks (well, a little over) and they are starting to fill out. At this point I was realizing I likely have 3 boys to 2 girls and was getting pretty concerned for the future. A local person posted on the local facebook page that their ducks had hidden a nest that they'd found too late and as a result they had ducklings they needed to rehome. I went and picked up two 7-week old cayugas, and 1 cayuga cross (the thicker blue, beautiful duck: mother could be a runner or rouen). They were all quacking well so my m/f ratio is slightly better, but I know I'll eventually have to part with at least one boy which breaks my heart. Coincidently I now have 2 ducks of each color. Anyway here's my flock:

The KCS are very dark and pretty. I think mine were always a little lighter than that.
