Are these ducklings Welsh Harlequins?

I had six. Three started off dark and three like yours. The darkest three ended up being my lightest three when adult feathers came in!
Ignore the colors on them. We used marker to tell them apart :)

They are adorable! :D
I was more concerned with their beak colors. I've kept WH before and I remember my ducklings having dark tips on their beaks, whereas these ducklings have white tips on their beaks.
 
Their fur does have a slight tint to it, but it's definitely not as dark as gentila's WH.

That picture is right when I got them (3 days old). They did seem to lighten up a bit as they got older the one in my avatar is the dark one in the picture. Here is another picture of the darker one at 10 days old. She is still not yellow like my pekin, but is much lighter than the first picture. (The lighter one was rehomed - story is in my intro thread.)



And as a completely unrestrained (but unhelpful) plug from a proud parent: here is a picture of her today chillin' with us on the blanket and pecking my coke bottle.
