I had a broody Muscovy who's eggs didn't turn out, so I got her 4 ducklings. I was told these were Cayuga, which I've never had before, but it seems like they have a lot of yellow (plus one with a lighter beak). I don't really care what breed they are, I just wanted them to distract mama duck from her rotten eggs, but I am curious! Thanks duck people!

No, not Cayuga.
The darkest two look to be Black Swedish for sure. The one that’s a little lighter might be a Blue Swedish. The last one with the lightest bill has stumped me. Almost looks Swedish, but has extra yellow in a couple places. Perhaps that one’s mixed?
 
I think 3 of them could be. I have Cayugas and they had lightly yellowed chests when they were young. I was worried for a second that they weren’t Cayugas but once they got their feathers in they were solid black.

It’s hard to see cause of my hand but you can kind of see the yellow chest. I think 3 of yours look similar. The other one with the yellow beak and really yellow chest I’m not so sure about.
