2 albino there for sure, the darkest of the 3 might be a blonde, look at the eyes, if they are red then that's another albino. Very luck to get 3 from 11, I have got 1 from 29 and I'm not sure it's eating so might not live.

looks good, natural.

Yeah artificial grass, keeps the place clean and tidy, we get a lot of rain over here and I didn't want a mucky aviary. I clean the poop off with an ice scraper into a dust pan and then wash it down with a poultry disinfectant in a pressure sprayer.

Really? Is that based on experience or word of mouth? I'm in Ireland, I have never seen Mazuri and never seen a waterfowl specific duckling feed. At the minute I have 15 mandarin ducklings eating chick crumbs, 7 are 3 weeks old and 8 are 2 weeks old, I left them with their mothers when they...

15 Baby Mandarins, 7 are almost 3 weeks old and 8 are almost 2 weeks old.

What a dilemma I have! First 7 ducklings left the nest last weekend from one nest box and have been getting on great, eating drinking, swimming. Today another 8 left their nest with their mom but the mom from the first ducklings has taken them all and wont let the latest mom near her new...

When you say 7 are dead where they hatched ducklings or 7 eggs that didn't fully develop? I had 7 ducklings appear in my aviary on Sunday, they probably hatched Thursday or Friday but only left the nest with mama on Sunday morning, they are in an aviary with 5 males and 5 females, I've spent...

So I have 36 eggs sitting in three different nest boxes and no duck wants to sit on them , 11,11 &14 first eggs probably 4 weeks old now, are these useless? I still see the ducks going in and out of the boxes on a regular basis but no one is sitting! 2 ducks are last years and 1 is 2-3 years old...

I have 5 Mandarin ducks in my aviary and 5 nest boxes, 2 nest boxes have had the same amount of eggs for well over a week now and the oldest eggs in these boxes could be coming up on 4 weeks, one has 12 eggs and one has 5 eggs, I'm still seeing ducks going in and out of these boxes but no...

I don't keep the birds at home, they are on a small plot about 5 minutes drive. Do you let them hatch and remove them before they leave the nest after a day or 2? How long do you keep them under a heat source in the brooder and when do you introduce water? I'm in Ireland so its colder here than...

Leave ducklings with mom when they hatch or take them away? I have 10 mandarins, 5 ducks and 5 drakes, 1 dominant drake has 3 ducks to himself and there are 2 other pairs, there's about 45 eggs between them at the minute in 5 different nest boxes, only one duck is sitting at the minute but I...

Seen my first mandarin egg of the season today Hopefully plenty more to follow, I have 5 ducks and 5 drakes this year, 2 pairs and 1 trio at the minute leaving 2 drakes and 1 duck, think the 2 remaining drakes are gay, seen them checking out the nesting boxes together and they never leave each...

Anyone using the Brinsea Multihatch? Its the big old brown unit. I've just bought one which was completely dismantled for cleaning/repair and never put back together, I'd really appreciate a few photos of the inside of the unit to give me an idea of how to re assemble it. Thanks in advance

Drake on the left and duck on the right. I keep my Mandarins along with Pekin Bantams and have had no issues what so ever.

I have a wee Mandarin duck here I got last night, I noticed when I got him home that the out side of his feet and toes are sore, like warts but not warts and its not bumble foot. He's about 12 weeks old and 1 of 8 that I bought from this seller, he had them in a raised cage so there were walking...

Great, hope they are fertile now! Never actually seen them mate, seen them splash about and dive under the water and seen the duck lay flat on the water and the drake groom her back but never seen him mount!

I have a pair of mandies and the duck started laying on the 12th of this month, she has laid 11 eggs, she was hiding them with straw in the nest box up until the tenth egg, yesterday she seemed to spend the whole day in the box with the male outside keeping guard, today she is back out and I...

Maybe, I'll look at whats involved, its late here now so it will be tomorrow.

I feel sick
