White faced whistling duck info

[aldren90]

At least a foot mine did fine with a kiddie pool. But what is neat about my setup is I have a small kiddie pool about a foot and a half deep that runs through their pen that makes a little stream and runs out down the hill next to the pen and they really spent more time in that just wadding in it more than swimming, but either way let a little water run out of their pool and they will dabble and play in it looking for food, since they are natural dabblers and it is their favorite thing to do.

Hope your not breeding that Amherst X Red Golden cross that is in with the BB Tree Ducks?

 

[dylan duck man]

i dont have an amherst in that pen that is a red golden hen and i have all my phesants seperated

That male pheasant in the first picture with the BB Tree ducks is a Amherst Red Golden cross. See them all the time on these different forums.

 

[dylan duck man]

yea he is paired up with a normal lady amherst

Whatever you due, don't hatch the eggs. Eat them or throw them out. Better yet, buy yourself a pure Lady Amherst Male and raise pure breds.
Leave the cross male with your waterfowl without any hens.

k just curious why shouldnt i mix him

Hybrid birds like these are ruining the last remaining pure lines. As soon as a bit of Red Golden gets mixed in with Lady Amherst, then that line will be ruined forever. While some hybrids may resemble pure birds, they truly aren't.

DO NOT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost Every one in my small community that raises birds has an unpure line because a few people decided they liked the way the bird looked and people pass them off as a true and it's a HUGE mess! Do not do it!!! Separate him or something but do not cross him! And you probably shouldn't even cross the yellow and red goldens either because that will be an unpure color line as well!
