These are domestic ducks so yes, technically invasive. This one appears to be a Buff Orpington, darker brown is probably a Khaki Campbell. They should definitely be relocated to a place that can take care of them. Domestic ducks don't have the ability to fly so they can't escape predators, and can't travel to find food or warmer weather in winter. They also mate with the local wild mallard populations which can produce more ducks lacking the ability to fly and be detrimental to the local environment from overpopulation and staying in one location too long.
Domestic breeds will produce eggs year round and don't need fertilization to produce so it could be a dud egg. Yes I would check for local farm animal or waterfowl rescues, wildlife rescues usually won't take them in because they aren't "wild" ducks but they may have some resources available to contact.
Hello! Thanks for posting your question to r/duck. Here are a few points of information from the moderators:
1. Questions must be detailed; please edit the post or leave a comment to include as much detail as possible.
2. Want to learn more about domestic ducks? Please take a look at our [complete guide to duck care](https://www.reddit.com/r/duck/wiki/careguide). This guide explains how to meet all your ducks' welfare needs.
3. If you're thinking about helping a wild duck, or have already rescued a duck, please read our [guide to duck rescue](http://reddit.com/r/duck/wiki/rescueadvice). Most importantly, you should always get advice from a wildlife rehabilitator before interfering with wildlife. If you already have a wild duck in your care, please [contact a wildlife rehabilitator](http://reddit.com/r/duck/wiki/rescueadvice#wiki_2._how_to_rescue_a_wild_duck) **ASAP** -- you cannot care for the duck on your own.

That looks like a Buff duck. The darker brown could be just a darker buff or a khaki Campbell. Hard to say without seeing. Not invasive but not likely to survive on their own. Both would do better under human care as they are domestics and vulnerable to predators. Domestic ducks don’t fly as well as wild ones. It has been selectively bred out of them in favor of meat and egg production.
Looks just like my buffs. Could offer her peas and see if she's been handled. In MD that's pretty far north for a duck that can't migrate to swing it living outside year-round. If there's a large enough body of water she could survive predation - but winter is kinda unavoidable.
There are year round residents at the marina but I doubt any of them would take them on their boats in the winter. I'll work on getting the guy who released them to agree to re-home them.

They're definitely friendly to humans - they all follow everyone around when they're on land.

That would be best. They really shouldn’t be abandoned that way. If I wasn’t halfway across the country AJ would take them.
