Attimus was talking about Aubrey Webb... his username on BYC is Boggy Bottom Bantams as that is the name of his business... minihorse927 tagged him to answer your question... he's very experienced and knowledgeable with many rare breeds... :)
Oh, just had a thought... I think they might be the ones you have to drop from a couple or few feet (like onto a bed) to get them to jump start to eat, maybe???
***I think*** Please someone correct that if it's wrong, but I think that was the reason why I decided to not try raising those...
I am not familiar with raising Mandarins, but I do know 2 people who have... I'll tag them and a few others who might know...
