Molting question,when do they loose their wing feathers?

[Mccluckers]

Hello,

I have two call ducks that were born early November i think the drake is going into eclipse plumage and do they lose their wing feathers in an eclipse? The reason i ask is because they live in an open topped run and i need to clip their wings if they regrow.
how long does it normally take? He only has a few brown feathers at the moment.

Hmmm, I don't know. I hope a Call expert checks in soon. Have you posted on Da Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread?

I have now posted on the call duck thread and got some answers, thank you

There is so much to know, and I feel that Calls are a particularly unique breed. Cute as the Dickens! Or is that Duckens?
