Hello Terry

Goodmorning,

Just saw your post and I have to comment. From your description, non of the birds have completed their moulting cycle. Wood ducks,Manadrins and teal, are so thin skinned to begin with that adding numerous pin feathers would make these a nightmare for any beginner. I've been doing this 25+ years and I would still rather shoot myself in the foot vs trying to flesh and wash a early season pinfeathery wood duck. They just tend to fall apart on ya.

Sorry.
Jon
