Last fall I lost my mandarin duck pair in a severe storm. I am wanting another pair. Does anyone have any for sale in the near future. I would like them as young as possible to be able to sex them. They also need to be good quality. I'm also interested in the all white ones.

No they are not fighting. At times he can keep his head straight but then all of a sudden his head will flop around where his beak is pointing up. This started all of a sudden and there is no indication of fighting.

One of my turkeys keeps twisting his head around. I have to manually twist it back for him. He can walk fine as long as it is at a SLOW pace. If he tries to run or look backwards he falls over.

Could someone please tell me what variety my Amerucanas are? My son wants to show them but we don't know the variety. When I called the hatchery we bought them from they didn't know either. They are about 4 wks old.

What breed of turkey does best in competition? I don't want them used for market, strictly show. I would also like it to be a good breeder.

I have broad breasted turkeys that was hatched the week of May 5. I would like to take a couple of them to our local county fair which is the 3rd week of August (open class, not market). I need to be able to register them by July 1. Will they be old enough by July 1 to sex? And will they be...

Totally cute

Yes I do have a nesting box but she does not seem interested in using it at all.

I have purchased a pair of Mandarin Ducks. They are beautiful birds and I have high hopes of being able to show them. But we have one slight problem...they are completely wild. They were hatched at a large hatchery and not hand tamed at all so consequently by the time we got them as juveniles...

I have purchased a pair of Mandarin ducks. They are flighty birds to begin with but to make matters worse they were hatched at a large hatchery and not hand tamed for several months. When I received them they were wild. I had them in a large aviary built especially for them. I recently moved...
