When do ducks start to fly?

[FoxsDucks]

At what age do ducks start to fly? I have 6 TSC brown ducks, I think they are khakis, that are 13 weeks old. They have started to flap a lot and act like they are trying to fly but nobody has actually become airborne. Since they won't go more than about 10 feet from their house unless somebody is out there with them, and flatly refuse to go out of their fenced yard at all, I doubt that they will actually go anywhere.

Also, we also have 4 white TSC Muscovies also 13 weeks, which I think are too big to actually fly, but do muscovies fly?

Never, if they aren't a breed that can Khaki campbells really don't fly. They might be able to get off the ground four or five feet, but actual flying is out.

Muscovies do fly, so they will be able to fly unless you clip their wings.

Do you have pics of your ducklings? Muscovy ducks do fly. According to the info around 8-12 weeks or once their flight feathers are fully formed. The males usually are grounded after awhile due to their size, but I think females can fly throughout their lives if their wings aren't clipped.
