All three domestic - 2 Muscovy, 3 Mallard, 1 Mallard? Mallard hybrid?

The middle bird is a domestic Muscovy, the last one is a Mallard x Muscovy hybrid, the first one... could be another Mallard x Muscovy hybrid (with a white domestic Mallard parent, whereas the other is likely to have something closer to wild colour for its Mallard parent), but it could also just be a domestic Mallard type (e.g. the "Magpie" breed)... IMO the yellow bill points towards the latter, but Muscovy hybrids can look very much like this but with red instead of yellow on the bill.
