With our mallard duck it took him about 7-8 months before he got the real pretty green head on him, but now he is about a little over a year old and he is starting to change color again, his head is just a little green with dark gray in it and he has more darker gray in his body, but he is still very pretty.

In my observation of Mallards, the babies stay the same color (keep their plummage) for at least the first year.
