Oh no. So sorry. I lost some of mine to raccoons last fall, it's a helpless feeling when you lose them that way. Hugs.
 
Here are my Buff Orpington's I ordered from Metzer Drake in the back hen in the front. does any one know which of the three categories/ genes these would be? Here are their 3 ducklings @ almost 6 months No Flash Flash No flash Any guesses on sex? If I had to guess by color I would say they are drakes, if i go by voice only one of them has a raspy voice the other two have loud quacks it would be 2 hens one dark but i do not think this is the case. All three ducklings are bigger then momma duck.
Those all look like females. Especially after a year you would have seen a very distinct dark head on the males and a curled tail feather.
 
Quote: The first picture is of mom and dad they will be turning two this year. The triplets( the next three pictures) I hatched 5 1/2 months ago, so no eggs yet if their are any girls. none of them have a curl on their tail feathers but at what age do they get this? come to mention it i don't remember seeing one on their dad either.
