With these photos, I might actually second the runner duck suggestion. Cayugas are horizontal ducks, not upright duckies.
Edit; and now that I look at it, it's more obviously not cayuga. They're melanistic, so their beaks are also black. That's just a black duck of an upright breed
Also, probably both male. At least in Pekins, that curly feather above the tail means it's a male.
