    Mandarin duck chick with birth defect?

    Thank you so much we will try that. We lost the runt of the hatch 2 days ago as the others were trampling on her and she had problems eating and swallowing. Even with hand feeding her and separating her she didn’t make it unfortunately. I will try the vitamin b for him. We seperated him...

    mandarin ducks

    We’re in Upstate NY and we got a black rubber mate tote that we applied heat tape around and we plug in in the winter time so our mandarins can swim if they want to

    Mandarin duck chick with birth defect?

    Introducing incubator mandarin ducks to flock

    Hi guys, We have 14 mandarin ducks we hatched in the incubator this year as we had to pull a nest due to frost. They are in a brooder now with heat lamp and water and starter feed after we let them jump out of a tree outside. When can we introduce them to our other ducks ? Our other mandarin...

    HELP Our mandarin ducklings keep dying

    Omg so cute! Thanks for all the detailed info, ours are in my office so I’ll definitely make sure to engage them to eat the next few days and make sure they imprint and get used to me. We use a clear box but I’ll get some puppy pads tomorrow, that’s a great tip! Thanks so much!

    HELP Our mandarin ducklings keep dying

    Thank you, we did that as you recommended in a previous thread. After they jumped we put them in the brooder with heat lamp and the shallow water bowl with starter feed but 5 of them just sat in it 🙂 Not sure if I need to teach them how to drink and eat? How do you imprint that? Oh and our other...

    Hatching mandarin ducks

    I’m just reading through your thread and would love more advice from you. Our mandarins hatch not at a great rate at all in the incubator but 2-3 days later they die. I’m so heartbroken. We have a rubber duck that is very broody so we have put 2 eggs under her as none of the mandarin ducks are...
