My four Khaki Campbells are just 10 weeks old, all beautifully feathered out. The last few days, I'm seeing lots of their small feathers flying off and occasionally, one even takes a feather off another. Since I'm new to all this (and loving every minute of it!), I searched the old posts in the forum and found a few mentioning 'juvenile moulting'. Is that what's going on here? I'm still watching to see if a curly tail shows up. They are really so quiet I haven't heard any voice difference. They just wonder around, dabbling in dirt or whatever with a constant chattering between them.

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.
