It seems as soon as my ducks were finally fully feathered they started going through their next molt. How long will it last? And will they still look like juveniles or will they look like adults afterward?
 
I have Pekins. They started molting at 8 weeks and are just now finishing up. They are 13 wks as of this past Sunday! Mine look about the same as they did before. Their feathers are more of a creamy color though. Hope that helps some!
 
Thanks. So they will still have juvenile feathers. When do they get their adult feathers?
 
most male colorings, like in mallards doesn't show up until about 4-5 months old
