Ok color help. I’m 99.9% sure my 2 young ducklings are drakes. So I need to try to rehome some and I’ll start with these 2.
I’m baffled by their colors, what should I call them?
They look kinda light blue, sorta like pastel coloring, with some claret coming in lightly. The lighter ones bib looks more white with a little gray speckling, the darker one has darker specks. I’m sure I’ll know better once they get full coloring, but any help now would be great.

Are you wanting to know coloring or gender?

I think the lighter one is probably silver bibbed. The darker one I'm kinda having trouble making out the coloring from these pictures. I'm not seeing the claret color you're mentioning.
