What breed are my Ducks?

They still look really young. My cayugas didnt get the full green color till they were around 1 year old.
They also seemed to grow very slowly even though their parents were from Holderreads.

If they are all in their second set of plumage (Fluff -> Juvenile feathers -> Adult feathers) then that would explain why the Campbells have drake-looking heads but still have female-looking body feathers (my boys' heads were the first bits to moult when they went into their adult plumage) and the Cayugas don't have their green sheen yet (that seems to come in in the adult plumage also, or at least it did with my black runner!). Anyone agree?

My khaki Campbell drakes all had female coloring (eclipse is the word used for this I believe) as juveniles, with green heads and orange feet and olive bills that were definitely drake traits. The sex tailfeathers didn't come in till later.

I would like to thank everyone who replied. I found my receipt for the ducks. They are Cayugas and Gold Star Hybrids.
