Just wondering if anyone has had success or can offer advice on how to find great homes for mandarin ducklings. I have 16 that hatched this spring and I’m having a difficult time finding qualified homes. I’ve had lots of people respond to my ads who are familiar with domesticated ducks but don’t realize mandarins need a fully enclosed aviary, nesting boxes, etc. I’m wondering if there are any mandarin breeders or experts who can offer me some advice on selling these guys to fantastic homes. After getting my first pair of mandarins 4 years ago I’ve become entirely taken with them and think they are the neatest of all backyard birds (they’re small, not mean to each other or other species, they’re so smart and interesting to watch, and of course they’re gorgeous). I love the idea of sharing my love of these unique birds with other people by selling my ducks’ babies but won’t sell them to just anyone because I really care about their well-being. Any advice? I’m in the New England area. Pictures are of the parents and a couple of the babies just because they’re adorable!
