Ok, I will post the pics in the color mutation thread, hopefully get some updated ones in the next few day. As to whether or not they happened by accident, that is a very philosophical question.

Thought I would share these with the group, pictures of the silver blue winged teal I raised. As far as I know, these are the only ones that exist in the US. Mark Hall Huntsville, AL edited by staff

Yes, the Australian Wood Ducks, Wood Ducks, Mandarins, Ringed Teal, Hooded Mergansers, Goldeneyes and probably some I am forgetting all use the duck boxes that are mounted on the posts.

I raised some hybrids that looked exactly like that about 20 years ago. The male was a Canada Goose that landed on our farm and mated up with my "show quality" White Embden goose. He did this by force and tried to kill her original Embden gander. All of the babies were infertile/mules but...

Here is the link, as Destin said, good video explaining angel wing. http://www.phillipsmediaservices.com/anglewinghispd.wmv I thought this was a good video explaining how angel wing happens and what is going on with the bones. But after talking to a buddy and figuring out that we had both...

If I was Dylan I would go on the attack and demand that you link to Bill Dilger's paper as well as show scientific proof of the Wood Duck x Mandarin hybrids existence along with the tests proving that Mandarins and Wood Ducks have the same number of chromosomes instead of listening to you demand...

It will be fine and they will enjoy it, I feed mine live fish/minnows from the pond adjacent to my pen as well. The only downside might be from parasites carried by the fingerlings but I have never ran into a problem with it on my hooded mergansers.

The hen is a 2012 Hatch bird according to BlueRaven, the owner. She does not have eggs, she is not old enough, and even if she were older and did have eggs then she would not abandon the nest if you checked on them. The fact that the goose is following around a cayuga and a khaki campbell...

That is a great looking and well built pen for brooding some ducklings or raising land based birds but I wonder what what hardware cloth would do long term to the bottom of a ducks foot. Has anyone else tried raising waterfowl in pens like this?

Not sure what happened in your situation but would love to see pictures of the pens that you placed them into to maybe help you out on why they died. You see, it happens all the time with Ruddy Ducks, people get them in and put them in pens with a ton of other birds and little to no water and...
