hello everyone.
i have 4 mandarin ducks , they 8 weeks old now. did anyone know when males start moulting (if there any males). one is hand reared , hatched at my incubator. other 3 i brought at 5 days old , they are a bit wildish (dont like go on hands) but easy taking favorite food from the hands. pictures attached

Hi, so now I know there's hope to actually tame them a bit. Now I have to find out about the wood ducks. And what age both are when you can see the difference in the beaks on the mandarins. Thank you
 
the beak/bill of a young mandarin male is more red/pink.
the beak/bill of a young mandarin female is more brown/dark.
Thank you for that information as I was wondering because I had to hatch out and one does have a red little knob on the end of his beak. Now I have to look up what a newborn silver wood duck looks like. Thank you
