Drake or not a Drake...that is the Question!

Another video with more chatter especially around 1:40ish.

The video has a error. From watching your first video I'm positive the bright orange bill duck is definitely a drake.
The one lighter bill duck with the curly tail feathers, I'm positive is a drake.
The other light billed duck is questionable, but I would guess that is also a drake.

According to the first video, yes.

The other video on post #26 I couldn't open. I get the message "An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: AxB0q2Ao5hfpkJCZ)"

Thanks for letting me know! I had to reload it. It should work now. Thanks!

Okay I can see the video now. You got all drakes, I would bet money on it.

Thank you! I just reloaded the second video. I can't believe they are all drakes...I had to put my fourth one down..and now I'm thinking I know how she was injured poor Duck Duck!

Yeah...I really was hoping there was a quack in there but I guess the jury is in-ALL DRAKES! Thank you! I'm in a bit of shock and disappointment right now.

And, I'm guessing three drakes would really do damage to a duck, huh? I had four but the fourth one became lame -she couldn't even walk anymore! and I couldn't figure out what was going on someone on BYC actually asked if I had a Drake...but they were ALL suppose to be female!!

I have to get them away from my chickens. They will try to mate with them because I have no ducks....right?

Three gorgeous drakes now to order some females.

You have time. They probably won't bother the chickens till spring.
You can always set up a bachelor pad for them.
Personally I wouldnt get rid of them until you get some girls. Then let each one in with the girls to see who is better behaved.
If you get rid of all but one and then find out he is too mean for your girls you will end up getting rid of him too.
If that makes sense.

Yep, all boys. Very cute boys too.
Definitely move them away from the chickens and get some females.
Drakes mating with chickens can seriously hurt the chicken.
