I bought her from tsc several months ago and I’m not sure what to expect due to not knowing the breed.

Very cute! Is he a boy? If yes, I suspect he's a Golden 300, which is a crossbreed that can be sexed by color.

I have no idea of the sex 😅 I bought from stock tanks at tsc and of course you never really know what you get lol
The 4 ducks pictured are locked in the coop every night and when I let them out in the mornings, I find a small white egg. That could be the Rouen, though?
 
Listen to them quack and you can tell their genders :) The pekin on the far right of the picture you posted has a drake feather on his tail, so he's a male. The other pekin next to him I think I also can see a drake feather on, making it male also.

The Silver Appleyard in the picture (the one behind this duck you're asking the breed of) has female patterned feathering, so she's likely female. And this one, if it's the same age as all the rest, which I'm guessing is around five or six months if the pekins are old enough to have drake feathers, doesn't have male plumage, so she might actually be a girl.

But just listen to them quack and you will know :) Males and females sound very different. Females have a loud, braying quack. Males are low and raspy.

Here's a link where you can hear both and compare yours to them:
