She has developed seizures, so I dont expect her to live much longer.... so far they are few and far between, but they are...

    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.

    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...

    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...
