Below are pictures of each, their names, and what I think they might be. Please if you could use their names that would be helpful.






Daisy: (Female Mallard?)
Lily:
Rosie: (Blue Swedish?)
Petunia: (Male?)
Sunny:
 
Pretty duckies!

Daisy looks like a Welsh Harlequin. It look females but when they are younger both sexes look almost the same. Unless it's older, you'll have to use voice sexing to figure out the sex.

Does Lily have white on the chest too? If so I would guess Blue (or maybe Splash) Swedish. Also looks female but same age/voice sexing applies.

Rosie looks like a Blue Swedish. Going by the darker head I would say male.

Petunia (I've got one named Petunia too :)) and Sunny look like they could be Ancondas. Maybe Magpies but their marking don't fit the standard well. Those you'll have to voice sex too.
 
In case you are wondering about voice sexing... Around 6 weeks of age ducks start to get their 'adult' voices. Females will quack. Males will make a raspy, frog like sound. I say they sound a bit like a goose honking if it had a very a sore throat.

The only thing about he welsh harlequins is that they have black beaks, otherwise I would agree. I’m thinking mallard especially with the blue in her wing.

I’m now thinking Lily is a khaki? She doesn’t have the white chest spot.

I agree with all the others :)
 
Not every bird will fit the breed standard perfectly. Daisy has all the markings for a WH, including the blue speculum feathers. Doesn’t look anything like a Mallard to me though I’m no expert so who knows.

On my computer Lily looked light blue/grey but now looking on my phone it looks brown. Guess it depends on the color settings. I’ve never experienced such a big variation though, weird. Anyway, yes maybe a light colored KC or maybe a Buff.
 
Agreed. Daisy is a hatchery quality Welsh Harlequin.
Lily: if she has a white bib she looks like a blue Swedish hen
Rosie: blue Swedish drake
Petunia: drake, Ancona or hatchery quality magpie
Sunny: female Ancona or hatchery quality magpie ( blue/ white color variation for her and Petunia)
