Molting at 10 weeks?

[Julielynn810]

I noticed today that my 10 week old WH ducks were loosing lots of small white feathers today. They were preening after a swim and pulled out about 25 or so white feathers. Normal or no?

Thanks!

We are new to ducks but ours started molting at 10 weeks and we were like ...they just started getting feathers! They also didn't seem very waterproof. They turned 12 weeks yesterday and our yard looks white from all the feathers lol.

Called the juvenile molt. It's normal..
