Clipping wings? Muscovy

[Gerby26]

Hello I have a 11-12 week old female Muscovy who has started flying 5-10 ish feet at a time and 1-5 feet off the ground, I read you have to wait till ducks are 15 weeks to clip wings, but would I be able to clip hers now, she seems to be almost ready to fly! I don't want her to make it into my neighbor's yard and get attacked by a dog, so I was wondering if I could just clip hers now?

Are her wings fully feathered with no more blood feathers in them? If so I don’t see a problem clipping them now

How do I tell if they still have blood in them?
