Hi everyone!
A little bit of back story: DD1 wanted to hatch chicken eggs for science. I wanted ducks. So as we incubated our first batch of chicken eggs, I answered a kijiji ad for a lady who was hatching ducklings, and was giving them away, because she couldn't keep them in the city. She got a mixed batch from a breeder, but couldn't remember all the breeds. Now we have 4 chickens and 5 ducks, but no clue as to the breeds of 2 of our ducks.
Can you help? They are 6 weeks old.

Clockwise starting at the Rouen, Stormy, then the Pekin, Misty, Jack the Runner Duck at the bottom, then Sophie and up to Sea Star. I don't know what Sophie or Sea Star are (besides cute),

Here Sophie is at the back (grey and white) and Sea Star is at the front.
Any ideas?
 
The blue and white one could actually be a mixed breed. I have found that pekins mixed with other breeds tend to end up looking like magpies/anconas and can easily be mistaken for them (except that there are other ways to tell them apart such as body and head shape/size and not just markings). I have gotten some blue and white ones that look just like yours from pekin/swedish mixes, pekin/welsh harlequin mixes, and pekin/ancona mixes
