Nice looking flock. How old are your mallards?

In this photo, they were 11 ish weeks old. Here's a close up, same date as the other photo (4 on right)

Are their wing feathers fully developed?

Sassykat's mallards look like they could fly if they wanted to.

My Mallards at the time of the picture (11 weeks) had been flying for about 2 weeks already. I don't clip their wings, they have learned where the top netting is.

Here's another of them a few days ago. So about 14-15 weeks.

where'd you get your mallards from? Looks like you need to swap a drake or 2 for a hen or 2 mallards.

cool.

I got them at TSC during chick days. My luck to get 3 drakes. I have a total of 11 females, and the drakes seem to be getting along so far. They are pets, I am not looking to breed.

3-11 isnt a bad ratio, they should be fine
