You realize that you can get adults at a better price than that of a duckling right? Plus you are taking a risk with ducklings.

Would a pair of mandies be ok in a 3X9ft avairy

I'm hoping to get a baby mandarin maybe on friday or saturday i'm not sure but hopefully i will

Do not get duckling the will almost certainly die. It's not hard to find birds that aren't wild

That is most certainly not ok where would you put a feeder best box and water? All the room would be taken up the ground will be disgusting which will in turn make the water nastier faster

nah i believe that it will be fine besides I'm not raising it by itself I'm raising it with a muscovy duckling I'm hatching, i hatch a lot of muscovies, also guys i know I'm young and whatever but like i have had years of raising ducks and ducklings by myself

also what can go wrong? like do mandarin babies nit eat the same stuff as other baby ducklings? are they just more high maintenance? if they're just more high maintenance let me assure y'all I've gotten up about every two hours during the night to take care of my babies, my summers aren't really laid back, but i enjoy being a mother to my ducklings its a wonderful experience
