New Mandarin ducks

[CelticOaksFarm]

He is not normally so calm. Just when I walk them back to the light pen. We have had storms and strong wind the last two nights, and they are brand new here, so put them in our brooder house over night. Didn't want them to spook and injur themselves. Will take more photos with my camera though soon. Those were just taken quickly with my phone.

Such big eyes! So pretty! I can't afford fancy poultry, just my mutt-ducks, but someday I want to make a big aviary and get some Mandarins.

Do you have to have a permit to keep them? I know you need permits for Wood Ducks because they are migratory birds.

Even if mandarins aren't native to the US, do you still need permits?

We don't here in FL, the normals sell for a very reasonable price compared to other eye candy ducks.

I can see it from the kitchen, when I pull up to the top of the driveway and from the back porch/pool enclosure. It sits in front of a 14x20' coop on the north side of our yard.
