If they're mating, they're sexually mature, but unless you've been adding light, you may not get any eggs until early spring. I've never had any new ducks begin laying in the fall :(

Well, here's the webpage of the breeder who sold me my ducks. She does show a picture of a gold phase duck with a darker head. I guess there's just more variation than I realized. I hope you do have one duck at least! http://www.moosemanorfarms.com/about-welsh-harlequin-ducks.html

My gold females looked nothing like that, except for the dark bill. They had pale heads, and no auburn speckling on the breast. Are they pure Welsh Harlequin?

I hate to break it to you, but I think you might have four drakes; one gold and three silver. Were they sold to you as "straight run"?
