HELP! I assisted a duckling before internal pipping!

It is always a lot of work when we have animals but worth it they sure bring a lot of joy to our lives.
We have many predators I could never leave my flock outside over night even in the day time there is always a threat. Mainly hawks and sometimes stray dogs coyotes and foxes. Mine are in a fenced in part of our property but we can never let our guard down.

You're right, we should not let them without a house. I would have never thought that I would, but their house collapsed and I am still busy and still didn't get an opportunity to make them a house. Even though I am able to make a house for the ducklings and chicks, the house for adult chickens is much more harder as I will have to already build it with nesting boxes and roosting areas and such, and have to make sure it's fully closed.

I have seen a hawk, probably one of the first times, if not the first time I've seen it in my life, and it was in my garden, and I obviously know what it wants (in the morning). That was like two weeks ago. All my chickens stopped moving when they heard the voice. When the hawks went a bit, they quickly hide, and then the hawk returned. I've never seen him or heard him afterwards. What's comforting about hawks is they mainly attack in the day only, so I don't have to be afraid from them in the night. But I definitely need to make them a secure house.

@Miss Lydia Hello! It's been some time. My ducklings which we discussed about here earlier has became large, and got fully white feathers, and are starting to get caruncles. I will attach some of their pictures here if I find any. They're now around 3 months old I think, but I still can't tell what sex they are. I got some new ducklings yesterday as well, but I need help confirming if they are Khaki Campbells or not, and if there is a way to know their sexes early. Here is the link for the post I just posted about them:

Beautiful Muscovy and the picture with the ducks chickens and be kitty is sweet. I’d like to see pictures of them from the front full body I like to see how their legs sit under them. Females legs sit closer together and drakes sit apart under their body.

By the way that kitty was eating duck food.

Right now it's already night, on top of that it's raining heavily, so tomorrow I will try to take pictures of each. Thank you.

Hello,
I went to my garden to take pictures of the ducks. I was only able to take the picture of one duck for now, because the others are more skittish and they all ran away when I came. One of them always runs away when it sees me, the other one usually runs away when it sees the other duck running away, but it is not that scared. All the ducks would come to me when hungry though, so I will just wait until they get hungry so that they come, then I will put food and wait while holding the duck, so that I take it once they finish.

The duck I was able to take pictures of, always attacks any cat trying to eat with them, and any chicken as well, and last time it attacked my friend when he entered, but it comes to me and is not really scared. They all do a weird thing with their head to scare me sometimes, they raise their head feathers or something like that. They think they look scarier, but really, they just look funnier.

I attached all the pictures I took of this duck.

I attached the pictures of duck 2 to this post, and will attach the pictures of duck 3 to the next post @Miss Lydia .

This duck always runs away when I come even close to it. It has a white head with no black spot. The one at the back in picture 4 is not it, but is duck 3.

Duck 3 pictures are attached to this one @Miss Lydia .

This duck runs away when duck 2 runs away, but last time when it was scared because I carried it, it started attacking me with it beak until I put it back down, unlike duck 2 which gets very scared, but doesn't really attack. Duck 1 attacks cats and chickens when they try to come near by, and walks to me without being scared.
