It takes a couple years for Hoodeds to mature so I'll see what these end up looking like in the fall of 2024.

These are 5 Wood duck Hooded merganser hybrids I hatched this year. I wouldn't do this Un purpose but my drake wood ducks weren't doing their job this year.

I have Ring teal Mandarins Wood ducks Cinnamon teal Green wing teal Hooded mergansers Buffleheads NA Ruddy ducks I live in CT so it gets cold here 20s are normal winter temps Although we had a couple days -10 to 0 degrees this year. and they were fine. They need open water and should have a...

I have male Mandarins and Wood duck pairs.

That's the number I gave them.

Harder to keep some ducks is one thing but getting some to breed is another level of difficulty.

Some yes but some sex their birds and have been selling all season for local pick up. I bought ducks a couple months ago. However, shipping doesn't start until cooler weather.

I breed them in CT and ship in fall. However, I know someone in Kentucky I can give you, his info. PM me.

My Mandarins didn't lay the first year.

They hatched under my Mandarin. My Hooded put eggs in 3 boxes this year and didn't sit any, she's lazy. My Wood duck hatched 2 a couple weeks ago along with 2 Mandarins and her Wood ducks. Then the mandarin hatched 4 Hoodeds. Now my other Wood duck has at least 1 Hooded hatch with her eggs that...

We were filming the Wood ducks jumping out of the box and didn't realize the Cinnamon teal hatched the same day. It was funny watching them Penguin slide down the ramp.

Actually plenty of us raise from an egg. I'm not as good at incubating as the hen though.

I had a Wood duck egg in the pool today. Yesterday I cleaned the other pond and there was 6 Khaki Campbell eggs in the bottom.

Our Mandarin is huge but she still hasn't laid eggs. I haven't even seen her look at a nest box. Our second Wood duck laid 5 eggs so far. One of the Cinnamons is up to 7 The Hooded hasn't laid any in a week although she is still fat. I think the Hooded laid 5 in with the wood duck eggs and...

I can't shoot them where I am for safety and laws, houses are close. Mine is around all the time. A couple nights ago it was in the middle of the road facing off a couple of cats. It chased one into my carport then ran out with nothing.

We are getting our first eggs of the season. Although there was a cold snap for a couple of days before I saw them so hopefully they are fine.

I just saw this, when the other fox killed a duck I used it for bait. I hung the duck about 2 feet off the ground and put a couple leg traps out. It tried for the duck and got caught in both leg traps.

We got another foot of snow yesterday. With the single digit temps it froze most of the pool.
