I aquired these three as ducklings back in July. I was told they were Welsh Harlequins and that two were hens and one was a drake (judging by bill color). The more I look at them and at pictures of Welsh Harlequins, I'm afraid I actually have two drakes and one hen... Or all drakes. 😒

Thoughts? Guesses?

Currently trying to determine the gender of welshies! I see yours have the darker chest feathers in these pictures. Mine is 8.4 weeks now and still has a lighter chest. Do you remember how many weeks they were in this picture? Did they seem to have a lighter chest before and then it became darker when they molted?

Do you have pics?
 
Just got it's quack today. Hopefully the quality comes through. I really can't tell by the quack either, but it does sound different then my existing females so I'm leaning towards boy🤷‍♀️
