Mandarin Duck thread ( for posting pictures and discussing)

Chickens should not be kept with ornamental fowl in general. They can get the ornamental species sick. Mandarin Ducks can be kept with other ornamental ducks so a separate covered aviary with a pond would be necessary.

As I said, I won't be getting any then. My pigs ducks chickens geese and exotic inside animals keep me busy enough. If they cold live with one of my other species I would have gladly gotten a couple

I have some little call ducks in my aviary but nothing any bigger.

That is correct, I sell juvenile duck pairs every fall. I do not have any for sale at this time, and it is actually best to order in advance so that a breeder can have a pair for you in the fall. If you really want a pair now then I suggest you check www.softbillsforsale.com to see what ducks you can find. Good luck finding some.

TTENTION: The survey is only open until January 31, 2016, so if you haven't yet, please take part in it. Every little contribution counts!

I highly encourage everyone with captive waterfowl in North America to take some time to fill out this survey created by the International Wild Waterfowl Association.

----------------------------------------------------

Dear fellow captive waterfowl keepers,
The International Wild Waterfowl Association is conducting it's third Captive Waterfowl Survey to determine the actual captive status of waterfowl in North America. The results of the survey allow all interested in conserving waterfowl to remain aware of species populations so appropriate actions can be taken to stabilize species in decline. IWWA's 2004 and 2010 Captive Waterfowl Surveys were instrumental in the preservation of several species in North America and we look forward to updating those important findings.

This year the survey is being offered online for ease of responding. I would like to request each of you complete the survey and also forward the survey link to your waterfowl contacts in the United States and Canada. Like the 2004 and 2010 surveys the results of the current survey will be publicly available on the IWWA website after analysis.The survey will remain open until January 31, 2016 but please respond as soon as possible!

Here is the link:

Thank you in advance for your help.

P.s. If anyone needs a paper copy of the survey please e-mail me ([email protected]) and I will mail one.
