When to clip wings again after molt?

[Miss Lydia]

Are you doing both or just one wing? I think doing one is best since it keeps them off balance.

 

[SolarDuck]

Well... I just did one but now I am dealing with this...

 

[SolarDuck]

I thought clipping all of the feathers that I clipped did the job but I guess not. Now she is very reluctant to go into the coop because I held her down this morning to clip.

 

[SolarDuck]

Shes definitely not coming down tonight. Hopefully she is still in my yard by morning im gonna wake up extra early and let out the others. Hopefully she goes into the coop for food at some point and I can close her in, because I won't be able to catch her. I am not sure what I will do the only thing I can really think of is to bring her inside and make her a house duck for a few days until her wings are finished.

 

[SolarDuck]

I kept checking on her and she was still in the tree at midnight. But when I woke up at 7am to let out the others she was no longer there.

 

[SolarDuck]

I really hope I see her again... her not being here is stressing me out especially since I cut some of her feathers I know that will make her chances of surviving in the wild less.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Hopefully she's not far. Where is your closest body of water?

 

[SolarDuck]

Its the same park that I found her last time. I already looked there and didn't see her.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Have you walked around your neighborhood? did you use a diagram like this to clip?

 

[SolarDuck]

The bulk of the feathers marked in green in that pic weren't completely done and still had that sheath so I didn't clip them.
