What kind of Wild Waterfowl is this?

[Scott]

Oh well, I tried!

At least yours are laying! My mandarins have yet to lay.....

Well my mandarin is laying, just not sitting

and I think the 6 eggs of hers I put in the bator are infertile...

That's no good. The thing is... I have a waiting list from here to texas for mandarin pairs. I think I'm going to have to get hatching eggs to incubate just to fill orders if my birds don't start laying soon. Its my own fault though... they we're penned up with a bunch of bullying call ducks until a week and half ago.

Yeah I have a long waiting list too... I didn't take any money though and I said I couldn't promise anything at all.

They are very similar to our anhingas down here in Georgia, just a lot prettier

I was thinkin anhinga cause I saw some when i was down in florida but i didnt think they would be in OH. Anhingas look really cool

yep, we call them water turkeys locally cause of their tail feathers, look just like a turkey fan, got them by the thousands around these parts, very similar birds

I love Cormorants. Sometimes we see them at a local pond. They are amazing in the water.

In China they are used for fishing. The birds do all the work
