Looks like the crested one is actually a crested rouen duck.

I’m really nervous about my ducklings. If I end up with one male and one female is that still safe with chickens around? I’m hoping for two females.
Any tips on sexing at this point? Or just have to wait it out?

It's definitely a rouen. The facial markings on rouens is different than those of mallards. Mallards have just one dark stripe running through their eye, while rouens have two stripes.

I did not know this. The feed store told me it was a mallard. Though the only duckling with the poof still. But not the first one they have told me the wrong breeding on either One of my chicks was supposed to be a barred rock and is not
