Looking for a pair of Mandies!

[Duck-duck-goose]

Hi all!
I've been reading BYC forums for a long while now and finally thought I'd look for some help.
I am looking for a pair of Mandarin ducks. I live in the New Haven CT area and am willing to travel up to an hour. I have many domesticated waterfowl companions but would love a pair of these gems!

Very sweet picture,Welcome to BYC Right off hand I can't think of anyone on this forum that has Mandarins but if you go here you may find someone https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/wanted-green-jungle-fowl-seriuse.1106488/#post-20434795

Or go to your state forum at Where am I where are you and ask around.

So here they are! No names yet. Split white drake and white hen.

I'm sorry but they don't appear to be Mandarin Ducks...

Get your eyes checked.

They are beautiful!

Okay, so I looked at a bunch of pictures and to my untrained eye they look like Mandarins.

Gorgeous! I have a pair too, but just normal colored. I'd love to get some whites. Actually, you're maybe not too far from me, any chance you could share the breeder's info?
