And she and Donald are twins! There's one for Rosa...although there's PLENTY in the story that won't accord with Rosa's universe, starting with the existence of the Mouse characters....

Who raises Donald and Della in Young Donald Duck? Do we know? (And yes, props to them for featuring Della, whose absence is a major oversight on the part of Donald Duckling).
In Young Donald Duck: Donald and Della are 12 Goofy is 13 or 14 Daisy is 13 Mickey is 12 Minnie is 12 Trudy is 13 Louis is 12 Millicent is 12 Tom is 12 Betty Lou is 12 Fethry is 11 Gladstone is 13 Fenton is 13 Bum Bum Ghigno is possibly 12
I really do have to apologize for my ignorance, but what exactly is this "Young Donald Duck"? I've heard of Donald Duckling and the Donald's First series, but I don't think I've heard of this series/story. Maybe I did hear of it at some point, but I don't remember it.

The Young Donald Duck comics series was produced by Francesco Artibani who inspired the classic Paperino Paperotto. This is part of the Quacktown Universe in some point.

It definitely doesn't ring a bell, and I'm still not sure I understand what it is exactly. Anyhow, I'm curious to know if the ages you gave for the characters in the series was just your own guess or something official? I'm assuming it was simply your headcanon, but what in the story or stories made you think the characters were of the age you ascribed to them?

This is Young Donald Duck. Also discussed in this thread. Basically, it's Donald and the gang as teenagers.

Well, they actually live in big cities as part of the Quacktown Universe. The universe includes the school, his home and various places. What happens next for Quacktown Universe, are they still attending school when they do not age to prevent from growing?

Thank you for the links, Mesterius, but man... I now wish I had not inquired any further. That's not what I was expecting at all.

Gyro's helper... now there's an interesting question. I never thought he was very old (pets his size usually don't live very long), but there's a lot of potential here. Gyro could have created him as far back as high school, in which case he'd be about Donald's age.
Being a robot, Gyro's helper is functionally immortal. One heartbreaking, possibly "what-if" story by Marco Rota showed him outliving Gyro by centuries, except his batteries went dead for decades, and he wakes up to discover that in the utopian future, Gyro is honored as a visionary — Leonardo Da Vinci and Abraham Lincoln rolled into one, basically.
As for when he was created… I like the idea of him having been created by Gyro when he was a teenager, but Don Rosa's Gyro's First Invention shows Gyro making the Helper (half by accident) shortly after the events of A Chrismtas for Shacktown, in what seems to be 1951 or 1952. But perhaps, like Robb, you disregard Rosa stories in your headcanon?
I know this is quite an old post and that this is somewhat off-topic, but, for what it's worth, this story, shows the Little Helper has having been built when Gyro was very young, probably elementary school, as a school project.
Actually, that story does have some information on topic for this thread. It depicts Emil Eagle and Gyro Gearloose as classmates, indicating they are roughly the same age. It also shows Ludwig von Drake as having already looked the same way he does now when Gyro was just a baby.

Has it been confirmed or debunked that Della appears in Young Donald Duck? I haven't been following this series, but looking at the Inducks page for the individual chapters, she is never listed among the characters:
As what has been discussed in Ducktales 2017, it might be interesting to have a survey on characters' ages. One similar thread on Italian disney comics forum can be seen here.
So, how old do you think the characters are in the story?
My answer:
92+: Grandma Duck, Blackheart Beagle
78-82: Scrooge McDuck, Flintheart Glomgold, Goldie O’Gilt, Ludwig von Drake
Grandma Duck: In her 90's Uncle Scrooge: 75 (as stated in a story by Barks) Jake McDuck: 87 Donald, Thelma, Daisy, Gladstone and Whitewater: 28 Fethry and Gus Goose: 26 Cuthbert Coot: 31 Hortense McDuck: 67 Quackmore McDuck: 69 Matilda McDuck: 73 Flintheart Glomgold: 75 Rockerduck: 58 Uncle Eider Duck: 58 Goldie O'Gilt: 75 Brigite McBridge: 37 Gideon: 72 Huey, Dewey, Louie: 8 Dugan Duck: 4
I'm taking as reference the year 1948, right after Christmas on Bear Mountain and when i believe most barksian stories takes place
For what it's worth, some Barks stories explicitly take place in the 1950's. I'm pretty sure The Gilded Man has characters referring to events that took place in 1856 as having occurred 96 years ago, if I remember correctly, placing the story in about 1952.
Also, I'm surprised that you see Brigitta as being so young. I've always thought she was somewhere in her late 50's to early 70's.

That's why i said "some Barks stories"
Brigite has a great-uncle alive if i remember correctly, so i really doubt she would be in her late 50s
