I know this is not the best pic, but they have been real boogers lately and won't let me get near them.
700

I spent an hour driving them around the way-too-deep-for-this-human-but-the-boogers-can-walk-on-top-snow-covered yard trying to show them the pool today (had to move it from it's normal spot because I refuse to carry buckets of warm water through 2 foot snow.) anyway, I digress...

On the males, around their eyes, the feathers are not green anymore, more brownish white. I have noticed feathers in the overnight pen. Is this normal moult for them or is there something wrong?

TIA!!
 
A few of my ducks including a couple drakes just finished molting too, strange to be doing this at this time of year when every feather counts. lol


I found it odd too for this time of year, when I had went to let mine out the other morning it had looked like one of my white ducks had exploded over night

It's a scary feeling you think for sure your going to see a naked duck looking at you. lol
