How would we say "ducks, my ducks" as if we were talking to our mind e.g. ducks my ducks where you have been till now...

Assuming my understanding of suffixes is correct it seems like ördeklerim, on its own, could either be the possessive or the copula. In this sentence the possessive makes more sense than the copula (I am ducks) but is there a way to know for sure which one is being used in other sentences?

Ördekler = ducks or the ducks
benim ördeklerim. = my ducks (possessive pronoun + noun with possessive ending)
The speaker is claiming ownership of the ducks. "The ducks are my ducks, (not his ducks)."
