Looking for wild type hatching eggs

[Wilsted34]

Wondering if anyone (not eBay) would be willing to sell a handful of any wild type hatching eggs, particularly woodies, teals, shelducks and mandarins but open to any type as well. Thank you as always!

What do you mean by "wild type?" As for wild birds, I found this:

It is illegal for any person to take, possess, transport, sell, or purchase them or their parts, such as feathers, nests, or eggs, without a permit. Active nests with eggs or chicks may not be touched or destroyed without a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

I said in the description what I mean by wild type. You can legally purchase wood duck hatching eggs, mandarins, etc. Im not implying taking from ducks in the actual wild and think you knew what I meant

Sorry no, I did not understand that. Thank you for clarifying.

Are you still looking for any birds, @Wilsted34 ? Sorry I missed this tag. You won't find many eggs for sale, no respected breeders will usually sell eggs. At least not from anything rarer. Wild duck eggs are extremely fragile, much much more fragile than domestic duck or chicken eggs. They don't handle shipping well at all and it would be a pretty good waste of money. It's is way better to just buy juveniles in the fall, or drive and pick up ducklings or juveniles late summer. And yes, you'd want to make sure they're fully licensed and you'll get a USFWS notice of transfer with them.
