Are they all drakes????

[EyeToLensToPage]

Hi, I recently got three ducklings, well aprox 8 weeks ago I'm almost sure they are all drakes, but being new to ducks I'm not very confident in my ability to really tell, and it's driving me crazy lol. It seems to me they all do have a bit of a curl on the their tail feathers, but it isn't SUPER prominent, none of them really quack, they are all rather quiet, unless one get's left behind, where that one then seems to almost kind of quack, but mostly they peep. If they are all drakes will I need to get rid of any of them, will they fight? I will be getting four hens soon, baby stage all over again Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I will post some photos of my guys, maybe someone can tell me for sure what I've got. Thanks for reading

They look like three drakes to me. The drakes will fight over the hens when they mature, but it has been many years since I had ducks. I think they'd get along better with just two drakes with the four hens. Maybe someone who is more current on ducks will answer with more confidence.
