Welsh Harlequin pics!

Yes, but i havent payed much attention, I know 1 defenitly is starting to QUACK, and i know one is a girl, but that one i think is a boy and i dont have the heart to give him up, maybe ill have to give up others to have a good drake to hen ratio, i hate to say it, but i would rather give up my first ones because i just love these guys so much, i got them the youngest ive ever had them and they are soo pretty, and they didnt come from a meat farm so they arent defected like my pekin male, he has so many things wrong with himm...angel wing fat breast and thats about it though, and i fed the same things to him too so it cant be me, i think he was born that way
 
I picked that one in the 6th photo as a drake- you can also see the beak starting to change colour. It was the one with the lighter colour beak that I was unsure about...the other two look to be female.
 
I take back my first guess, because you can have a yellow bill in a pet quality WH hen. Mine never did and I was just looking at some old photos of a fawn and white runner drake with a yellow bill that I used to have, that's why I was thinking she was a drake before. Her head color is confusing to me also, but that's just one of the things about pet quality I guess. She is pretty though, and you're right, they just keep changing really fast at this age, even the adults will go through some interesting changes through the seasons.
So now I'm with duckyfromoz and that would give you three girls if we are right, LOL!
 
I really hope so! I did the quack test and i didnt pick them up i just listened and only 1 quacks, but there is a smaller one that is developing slower and im sure its a girl too, but the 2 im not sure on are just making peeping sounds I THINK! so ill just have to wait till they have their eclipse plumage...well off to school, hope to get back on after!!
