would start by spraying a light bleach solution on the ground in your pen,And keep pools and pond water changed every 3 days for a couple weeks.Either way this is good and wont hurt as old food particles in the groud is where they can pick it up from.Sounds like a bout with botulism or something...

Sorry Just sold the last mine 3 weeks ago for 150 a pair and my extra male 2 year old. Sorry you thought the price was too high but thats what I get for 2 year old or better birds. good luck finding some though.

If you mean mature as in to breed and make ducklings they will be ready to go next spring. Hovabators are fairly cheap and pretty reliable for what you would need. However with the questions you ask ( being new to this) I think you should let the hen raise them herself. Google mandarins and...

Thank you and good luck with your birds, Heres a shot of some more of my kids

FIRST Give em a couple weeks to settle in. Then just spend as much time out with them as possible.Especially when feeding, That is all! AlsoThe bigger the pen the easier they get used to you. All Mandarins will become as tame as a domestic if you do this,I have to watch out for all my wild type...

Yes woodducks.

What Roy said. "Mazuri waterfowl starter". After 2-3 weeks. I go just chicken layer pellets myself.

I have a extra 2014 male, But local pick up only. Destin Fla.

Dont crack no eggs Nothing to add Sean nailed it. If them eggs are dark they are making

All my mandarins have bred their first year. I dont know of any of the feeds nowdays made with harmful medication. That was in the olden days. If your drake is losing feathers its because he is molting.No big deal. They all do that shortly after breeding. Sometimes it happens even a bit...
