Sexing my ducks

I have 3 ducks and I an I am concerned that 2 are male? They are currently living with my 11 chickens and I have heard that it is dangerous to have male ducks with female chickens.

My 3 ducks stick together like glue and I have heard that ducks need a companion, so I have concerns, if I have to get rid of 2.

Can anyone tell me what sex they are, if it will be necessary to get rid of any and what I should do for a companion for the 3rd? Would 1 be happy with just chickens?

two drakes and one hen (the closest to camera in picture two is the girl)

you can make a seperate coop for the boys, and they will be best friends. your girl will definitely need a duck friend, chickens don’t count as a duck companion

Thank you so much for confirming what I feared 💔

Looking for help sexing these Rouens. I think I'm idntifying 3 males and 1 female (based on bill color and head sheen) which I could be wrong about, but there are 2 that I'm REALLY not so sure about. I'd say their about 13ish weeks. No more than 15 weeks. Any guesses? What do you see?
