Welcome to the forum! Do you know if they are girls or boys?

I tried vent sexing and they all seem to be girls but im no expert

OK. I think any time is OK for giving the third one away.

They all look like girls to us with no experience. lol Now do you realize these ducklings will be big once grown actually by 12 weeks your going to have to big ducks in your apartment, with alot of mess. Have you got their space made because they are going to need a big space. Hopefully they'll be able to go outside for sun shine and fun like playing in the mud and foraging for bugs. . As for giving the one duckling away you can do it anytime hatcheries ship right after hatch. Hopefully the lone duckling will have a duckling friend where it is going, if not it will be very lonesome.
