looks like rouen  but not really sure about ducks

I was thinking the same, but going through some Rouen pictures, I'm still contemplating on that

Or possibly welsh halequin?

My two Pekins are about a month or so now. I've said before the one flips on her back when she's scared and at first I thought she was having a seizure, but she's fine once we flip her over and once she knows I'm there to save her she quits kicking her legs and Kay's still so I can help her. She did it again at 4 in the morning, it woke up me, my husband, and our neighbor, I live in an apartment. She was so loud banging and knocking over everything. Anyone know why this is happening? They are officially indoor ducks, I could never let them outside alone for fear of no one hearing her and they could never be seperated

For sure not a Rouen, they look like mallards and she is has more white. She is very pretty! She doesn't have quite the right look for a welsh harlequin but I'm not an expert and have a hard time telling them apart for silver apple yards. My avatar is my welsh harlequin. Your white ones look like pekins.

I'm having an identity crisis with one of my ducks. I bought five matured ducks few days ago from someone who could not say what they are. Four of them (the white ones) I think are Pekin? However there is one duck I can't really tell the breed. Here are some pictures I took this morning in their new home.

I am not sure (new to ducks) but she is beautiful!

I suspected that she is a mixed breed as well, perhaps a mallard/welsh harlequin -pekin mix. Just curious about the possible offspring that may come up as i have two male pekin

She is a beauty. I am also guessing Silver Appleyard (possibly a mix) but if that is the case she is a seriously scarce bird. As of just a few years ago the census of domestic waterfowl in North America listed only 128 breeding pairs. I can't imagine why so few since they are (both male and female) really beautiful.
