I was wondering - how many coloring changes do these ducks go through a year? I adopted two WH ducks about 6 weeks ago, and they had much lighter feathers and were laying every day. After a few weeks, they stopped laying and molted. Right now, most of their feathers have grown back, but they are a deep russet color. I have a gold and a silver, and they are both looking very red to me right now. Does this mean they will start laying again? Is this their fall/winter coloring? I am new to this breed, I will post some pictures if anyone is interested.
