Dr. Todd, BBB... Please stay on topic! We'd all love to see pics of your birds, most of us can only dream of having more than 15-20 birds, hundreds or thousands would be a sight to behold , but this is the Mandarin duck thread! Looking forward to seeing a new thread posted soon! I was down to...

Hey! I don't get on here very consistently! I am in Utah, but I don't have the Fed permit to sell, trade, barter, etc. wood ducks. As cool as they look, I think I'll get out of the wood ducks and whenever I wanna see one, I'll just look in my living room where I have one mounted! Just seems...

Could someone post a pic of apricot mandarins? I don't believe I've seen one... My mandarin hen is sitting on 13 eggs, some hers and some from another, less responsible hen. She would flirt it up with the boys, stay out drinking all night, and bring home her boyfriends... Not a good influence on...
