Hi, What would you like to know about them? I have raised them for years.

They climb like a squirrel which makes it even more challenging. the mandarins males sound like a zipper being zipped really fast. Female have a quack but nothing like the domestic. The teals have a Wooop sound. Now muscovies don't quack? I wanted a female to help hatch out my mandie and teal...

You are correct. I have lost a few over the years. After about a year, they will not be so flighty if you move slow and no sudden movements. They like to watch what you are doing in their pen. Like cleaning the pond or filling feeding and water stations. Actually the Ring Teals are more flighty...

I ship, but wait until late Sept or Oct when the weather breaks and can be for sure the sex. I usually keep my 5 pair of regular mandies, 3 to 4 pair of white mandies and my 4 pair of ring teals. The rest are forsale.

Yes she did. I had one hatch out 18 ducklings. Mandarins are known to egg dump when one hen starts laying. You sometimes loose eggs that way as she won't sit until SHE is done laying. Learned that this year. I was too late to take them in and put in incubator. But I have 60+ duckling now and...

Thank you.

I only have mandarins and Ring Teals. I had one mandarin that hatched out 2 other hens eggs and her's. Here ya go.

Thank you so much. is it better this way than dry? I have food out all the time for them "free choice" due to working 12 hour shifts. Does this spoil? probably asking questions that is in the video. lol Thanks gain.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for getting back to me. What do you mean "ferment their mash"? Does that mean you add water to it?

thank you, that was the term "Mash" and not chop. Thanks. I know my doves and pigeons and one pet quail love it. Do you feed this as their diet or for a snack?

No the chop is like ground corn and other stuff but its ground like a powder. That is what I worry about. Will it get stuck in their throats. I have plenty of water in their pen and a pond so no worries there with having plenty of water.

Good Morning, I have mandarin ducks and I feed a duck feed along with other things. My question is a neighbor that has (had) chickens has some left over food from the sale of her birds. She gave me a few bags of layer pellets which I know is ok for ducks also. But she gave me about 200# of chop...

I have but its too hot to ship. But if you can wait until its cooler then I could help.

I am sorry I missed your post. Health issues ant not been on here. If still want a pair i can put you on the list. Let me know.
