Drake gone, now just one hen left

Update! I did get a drake and another hen from my feed store. My hen was very happy to have friends again.
However, I still miss my missing drake. While the two new ones making my hen happy, it’s obvious they aren’t as socialized with humans and are pretty nervous (compared to my mallard hen) I’m hoping with time they learn to love their new home. They have enjoyed a few baths (seemed like they haven’t had a pool to swim in for awhile) they took turns in the heated dog fish I have for water, (my others were trained just to drink from it for they knew that they would be let out to for a swim in a bigger pool) my hen just looked at them like “uh, guys... we have rules here”

That's great to hear. Any pictures?

:lau They'll get the hang of things. I'm happy you were able to find some friends for her.
 
I'm so glad you were able to find adults! :yesss: Give them time to get used to their new home, and after a bit they should start to relax and become more friendly. And I agree with @Duck_life we would love pictures!! :D
I'm sorry your drake didn't come back. :hugs Hopefully this new little fella will win your heart and be a good replacement :)
