My two girls are 10 months old, and molted maybe a little over a month ago. They grew back their feathers and are ready for a new clip. Not my drake though. He's the same age, and he was clipped at the same time as the girls. However, I don't know if he molted. The girls barely showed any signs of it, except for the extra amount of feathers in the apartment
. The girls are flapping around and getting some air time, but poor old Finn is weighted down still.
Is it possible that the lady who clipped his wings for me did it too low and now he's permanently clipped? Or do drakes molt later on than ducks? I would like to take them all together to get them clipped again at the same time, and hopefully soon before the girls fly away with their new wild mallard boyfriends.
