Eyton's were always one of my favorite of the tree ducks, them and javas, very nice, they look great. I've always love birds with long feathers, and their side plums are great on eyton's. They usually breed very well too.

Thanks!! Hopefully I will have some when you are ready.. I think I am getting some Black Bellied too!

This picture really didn't do them justice. Yesterday I was up there without my camera and they decided to get in the water and those feathers were really sticking out...

Kanga my Black-bellied Whistlers are for sale or trade if you are interested. Looking for Teal. Going to stick with the smaller duck breeds

yep, they'll really sail them up at times, similar to mandarin sails, just a buch of skinny ones and off the sides. They are very nice, now find us some java's and we'll be in business. I always like them cause they are a teal sized tree duck, pretty as heck too.

Yea, theres a couple out there with them. I use to have just one pair of them for a little bit, they were pricey and didnt lay well at all.
They and pretty much all out there came from Mike Lubbock, Sylvan Heights in Scottland Neck , NC
They still have them I know, will have to check around for you to see if anyone else does, as it's hard to get much off Sylvan unless you can go to their big sell in person any more. Use to, you could just drive up and walk around with Mike or Ali either one and buy what you wanted, did it many times, but they are more Zoo oriented now, so that personal hands on with them is over. Will PM you if I come across any, I think they are in the $600+ range though, at least that's what I paid back then, and they still are very rare​
