My girl could take small bursts at Lucky's age. She is almost 6 months now and at about 3.5 months when I let her out of run with the others she took off bout 5 ft off ground and past the pond. I almost had a heart attack. Thought she was going to the road. Needless to say the next swim she got one wing clipped before I let her go...she was not happy with me as she doesn't care to be held...lol. She was off balance for a few minutes and that was it...she can still get off the ground a bit but not very well. I didn't wanna clip it too much but was afraid if I didn't she would get hurt. I did wait til all her big girl feathers were in before I did it tho. She is a domestic mallard and would be so lost without her flock...she freaks if the others make it to door first and she can't find her way in.
