    Mandarin's first year laying issues?

    Hi there. You will want 2-3 nest boxes per pair as they like the variety an choose their favourite. Even then you got to hope the male is doing the business because its likely her eggs will not be fertile first time. Wait about a week or two with the new boxes in and you'll be supprised. Make...

    Wood duck issue

    Hi there, from experience; if you are seeing the drake treading alot you would get fertile eggs. It is obivous that the drake is sterile and you need a new drake. The female is probably ok as she is still laying, however introducing a new drake within that pair might cause trouble and you will...

    Mandarin duck eggs

    Hi there, I haven't had any experience doing that, however the problems you have are: - the mandarin eggs will be at a different stage than the mallards and will probably need to be sat on constantly now. - maybe the mallard might know if there not her eggs? Otherwise if you have surplus eggs...

    mandarin egg incubation

    I'm from England. The only law I know of is that if a bird it's not indigenous to this country they should be pinioned. I don't believe there is any law to permit the birds. I have never heard of toe clipping to mark idendity? Why wouldn't you just ring the birds with your own initials engraved ?

    mandarin egg incubation

    That's good. The only way they can affect eachother is if the eggs are left in there unfertile as bacteria will form. I don't know what u mean by toe clipping ?

    mandarin egg incubation

    Hi there, Theres no real tips for incubating mandarin eggs. Have the temperature set on your 37.5 degrees and humidity at 50-60% humidity and for the last three days stop turning and have humidity at 60%+. Do use inside hydgrometers to compare readings on digital display. Alot of people say...

    Silver mandarin eggs

    hi there, yes i use inside thermometer to check temp is correct. My idea for removing eggs on this particular bird is to leave two eggs in her box till she lays 3 then remove 1 when she has 3 again. As it is common knowledge that birds can only count up to three and any extra is surplus...

    Silver mandarin eggs

    I had 12 normal mandarin eggs. 12 fertile and hatched. temperature set at 37.5 c 50% humidity. 60% last 3 days. All hatched ok using a rcom20 . Now I use an rcom50. i must add the lid was only removed once during incubation so heat was constant.
