ok so your welsh harlequin is for sure a boy, so is khaki campbell #1. then khaki campbell #3 is definitely a girl. for #2 i would say 70% chance of being a drake. 3 drakes will kill 1 hen.

I will need to get more females but how am i able to tell when i look for new ducks what gender they are. thankyou for being suck a good help to me!
 
If it turns out you have more males than females you can keep the males in an all-drake trio and re-home just the girl - she should be pretty easy to place somewhere. So long as they dont have access to females the drakes probably wont fight, especially if they've been growing up and getting along together this whole time.

If you want to keep just one of the males and then get some more females as well, rather than get the new girls as ducklings I'd look for a couple same-age or older girls, that way they're more easily sexed so you know for sure what you're getting, and they'll be able to protect themselves a little better if there's any issue introducing them to your young drake.

There's a video in this thread that might help you voice sex them - I was really confused about what the "quack vs rasp" noise was supposed to sound like (neither of my girls even quack, they honk and chirp and squeal and all sorts of noises but nothing I'd say is a definitive quack 😂 so for a while I thought the one who sounded raspier than the other was a boy, until I watched a video and the male duck sounded more like he was hissing - for sure not a noise either of mine make) https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/how-to-identify-male-khakis.601881/

why don’t you rehome just the girl? if you keep 3 boys with no girls, they won’t fight! if you want, i can message you with more details about keeping a drake/bachelor flock!

one of the main reasons my parents let me get ducks was for eggs so i dont think they will be too happy about that, if there is any social media i could message you on that would be great, would people want khaki campbell drakes?
