I had a few Muscovy ducks in the past, but this one got me worry. It is almost 10 weeks old and the wing feathers are barley growing. There is a lot of fuzz on the wings still, but feathers grew out everywhere else on the body. The few Muscovy ducks I had in the past, the wing feathers seem to be all grow out at 8 weeks. I am starting to get worry and wonder if they would ever grow out and have normal fully feathered wings.

Never seen that before, Not sure what could be going on especially since you say all the other feathers are normal. Can you post a pic?
 
Here is some pictures of my duck and his stubby wings.

It's wings. The duck is going to be 10 weeks old in a couple of days. Still got a lot of growing on the wings and they grow very slowely.

Looks like a drake and their wings seem to take forever to grow in, he looks healthy other wise. other than maybe adding some poultry vitamins I guess it's just waiting for now. Beautiful duck.
 
Thanks, my worries are over. I was worry the wing feathers was never going to grow out and he is going to have stubby wings. I never raised a muscovy drake before. It was all female that I raised.
