This one might be silver. The light grayish color on the head is what makes me suspect that.

duckling #4
I'm gonna guess blue Bibb.
The yellow spots on the head threw me. . But looking back I guess my other blue ones had slight yellow spots too. . just not as prominent.

duckling #5. .the yellow one with the eye stripe. I assume is pastel.

I skipped #3 whoops. Ok so 4 of them are blue fawn I'm sure. . so we will say 3, 6,7,8
Blue fawn.
And then there is #9. I'm guessing another blue Bibb. It looks dark in the pictures though.

it is a little more brownish color than the other one though. . interesting.

If this one is definitely from momma duck, then it has to be blue bibbed since black bibbed would be impossible.

Only one I'm not sure of is #1, the one that looks a little brownish in the pictures and you confirmed it has a chocolatey-colored head. I'd love to see more pictures of that one when it feathers out.

I'm going to try to keep a close watch on who is who! Maybe do zip ties when they get bigger.
9 can't be black. . Maggie has been separated until recently. . but I will have to try and get a picture side by side with the other blue Bibb so you can see the slight difference in color. They are all so adorable! But I'm in love with #1 and #9
