I'm building an aviary for some wild duck species. I've done lots of research and will probably get some mandarins and ringed teal. Not sure about other duck species. I need ones that aren't too loud as I have neighbours right next door. Mainly dabbling ducks I'm looking at but may consider...
Hi,
We got mandarin ducks and runner ducks last year and are going through our first year of hatching.
Thanks for letting us be part of your community, helping us along the way and sharing your wisdom.
Thank you!
Hi guys,
We got 6 3 month old mandarin ducks last June.
They started laying eggs early in March as we had a 70 degree day and then back to frost and snow.
We incubated the eggs that were laid early to see if they could be saved as none of the mums sat on the nests.
We had a lot of bad eggs...
Hi, I recently purchased hatching eggs for mandarin ducks, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how to hatch them properly, how to take care of them after they hatch, and how friendly they will be if I raise them from ducklings. Also, what is the hatching rate of the eggs...
I'm looking for someone who's selling mandarin eggs in europe.
I'm in sweden, I might not buy now, but for the future
+ Whistling ducks, swans and honestly anything in this category
So I'm thinking about getting mandarin ducks, but what's the best enclosure for them?? Like size and stuff! I'd appreciate it if anyone could send pictures of their mandarin enclosure!
I bought a pair of mandarins over the winter and this is my first year owning them. I was anticipating some mandarin ducklings this year, but the female hasn't laid yet. She has a nesting box, and i put straw in it originally and she made a little nest, but didn't lay in it for a couple months...
I have 3 Adult Mandarin Ducks that I need to sell (1 white drake, 1 white Hen, 1 Normal Drake)

The nesting box I ordered for my pair of mandarins arrived today, very happy with the quality of it. Ignore the purple one on the right, my cousin wanted to try making one herself out of cardboard. ;)
I’m a bit confused as to whether or not the ramp I’ve added (since my birds wings are...
I ordered 6 mandarin duck hatching eggs a few days ago. They arrived today, but I’m really confused. They’re dark brown eggs, and Google as well as all the videos I’ve seen of fellow farmers incubating mandarin eggs show them as being white… Did I just buy $300 chicken eggs? :he

I’ve posted something similar already into the ducks forum. I purchased a pair of mandarin ducks last week, they have everything they need and more. The female keeps flying herself into the side of her pen. I know how these birds are, I know they are...
I need help. Last Thursday I purchased a pair of mandarin ducks. Perfectly healthy birds. I’ve done research on them the past year, im positive I’m caring for them right. They have a nice big deep tub to swim, scratch feed mixed with a small bit of all flock, a 8x16 pen with fresh grass (it’s...
Hello! I’m getting a pair of mandarins this week, I’m super excited as this has been a goal of mine for a couple years l. I’ve done some research, I’ve seen people use all flock, which is what I use for my ducks and chickens, and incorporate other bird seed and mealworms. I also heard Mazuri has...

My 4 mandarin eggs have been internally pipped for about 3 days and externally pipped for about 43 hours, but based on what I read they are still absorbing their yolk.
All 4 of them Keep nibbling at the air and opening their bills really wide, I've read this as a sign that they are absorbing...
I have 4 Mandarin duck eggs in my incubator on day 31 I believe(Worried so much that I lost track on day 29). They are all pipped externally, they have been so for about 40 hours.

Only one of them has even made another hole...
