Caruncles showing at that age I would have to say the White one is a Boy! lol.png

Can you post a few more pictures of the other two? Looks like they might be a boy & girl but it's hard to tell.

 

Also, the wing tips on the darkest one look to be sticking out a little 'strangely', are they growing correctly or do they seem to be turning outward?

It's normal for babies wings to droop some when the flight feathers are coming in because of extra weight from the blood there and muscle having to develop more, but if they're turning outward I would worry about Angel Wing.

I recently rehomed the last of my Scovies to a friend. I was sad to see them go but just had too much going on here lately and felt like I was neglecting them :(

Anyway, here is a picture of my handsome boy, I adore him, he's such a sweetie and even tolerated me snatching him up to give him kisses love.gif . He is a beautiful "Silver-Cream" color with some darker splotches across his back.

My brand new ducklings! Result of a nearly failed broody/incubator hatch. Just prior to hatching I had a massive humidity drop and almost lost them!

Oh Bleenie I'm sorry you had to give up your Scovies, but understand completely . At least you know where you can get more when things settle down a bit.  wink.png  They sure are pretty

Is getting all/mostly boys common then? Because I'm pretty sure I got 1 girl out of all 7 that my duck hatched.

My sweet puppy, Maggie (1yo), 3 adorable baby pet rats, Darby, Lilah, and Faye, 3 cats, 2 bunnies, a goldfish named Ghoti (pronounced "Fish"), 1 Khaki Campbell duckling, 1 Magpie duckling, and lots and lots of chickens!
