At what age do they normally feather all the way out? Tsunami has most of "her" feathers grown. And Toxic has some she started a bit later. But Tsunami has slowed down and she has yellow patches on her chest still. And i was worried about angel wing, but its just feathers growing there.

My local wild ducks, swans and geese are all gorgeous. Some of the ducks will even come right up to you!
Not too abusive...
The Swan did try to eat my hand though which was a little rude.

swan bites hurt!!!

swan bites hurt!!!

Thankfully he wasn't being aggressive, just demanding food!
I think it did kinda hurt for a bit though

My Mallards were always feathered out at 6 weeks.

It may also be slightly breed dependant. My pekins are fast growers and seem to feather out around the 5-6 week mark.
