This is my favorite picture of all time of any and all of my ducks. This is Cow and Rosie and their babies. They would co-nest and raise the babies together. -

This is Flippy Duck. She was born a couple of years ago and I just had her put to sleep about a month ago. I had to assist her hatch and im convinced that if I hadnt, she wouldnt have made it. As it was, she couldnt stay upright for more than a couple of seconds for the first week of her life... -
Mandarin Duck thread ( for posting pictures and discussing)
I have all mine clipped. For me, it seems they are much less flighty than when they were able to fly. I clip both wings also. Where are you getting your new ducks? I recently got a pair of whites as well as a trio of wood ducks. That gives me 3 white hens, 1 regular hen, 1 regular boy, 1 split...- AliciaM

Random Questions about mandarin ducks
I do want the white drake to breed. Im just slightly concerned he will be pushed aside in favor of the older drakes by the girls. I do think one of the other older drakes is trio'd up with 2 of the white hens.... What I WANT is white babies... So im thinking of splitting everyone up and leaving...- AliciaM

Random Questions about mandarin ducks
Has anyone used anything other than wood to make nest boxes? Not for wild flocks, but for my own aviary. Also. For Mandarins, I have 1 white boy, 1 split white boy, and 1 regular colored boy. 3 white girls and 1 normal girl. The all white boy and 1 of the white girls are this years hatch. And...- AliciaM

does anyone know how to make mandarin ducks more friendly?
Not sure if this will help or not.. BUT.. when I moved my ducks to a new aviary, I clipped their wings... They still waddle away from me, but they no longer fly about, freaking out crazy. It gives me a chance to now sit in there with them while they swim and carry on...Its also much more peaceful...- AliciaM
