Wild water fowl eggs

[chalis]

Does anyone know where to get wild water fowl eggs for hatching such as manderine, teal, wood duck, pin tail, ruddy, even call ducks? I would like to atleast be able to get six eggs if not more so rrsonable prices if possable. Thanks

Thanks, im just getting started on this adventure. It gives me a hobby while my husband drives truck. All my birds are pets. I just really like the off the wall, bright colored, odd balls. I guess is a way to put it. Lol

Do you currently have chickens ??? I wanted to keep ducks as well but housing a mixed flock of chickens and ducks is just not possible for my small area. Ducks also need some water source like a small pool or pond which I do not have. My chicks are just pets also.

Chalis, first of all

. Just to make sure you have the background information, cavemanrich was making a joke. Literally following his advice might get you a steep fine, or even jail time. I might be "Mr. Obvious" here, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

There are breeders who have these ducks (with the correct paperwork) for sale though. I don't personally have any of the "wild" breeds, but I imagine you could get some info starting here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/476437/mandarin-duck-thread-for-posting-pictures-and-discussing

Good luck!

Lol thanks. I have a rouen named daisy who is siting right now. She and my males donald and daffy get mad enough if I poke around to much. I can only imagine a wild one. My four year old named them. Depending on what day it is donald and daffy turn into batman and robin. Lol thanks for the info

You cant get a JOKE when you see one. If it has to be explained ,,,, ITS LOOSES ITS HUMOR. At first I thought that you did get it , but now I'm not sure.. I even included

AS A HINT. ?????

So for the record. I DO NOT ADVOCATE STEALING WILD FOWL EGGS, i'M ALSO AGAINST STEALING ANYTHING ELSE AS WELL..

I was aware it was a joke (and said so initially), but chalis is new to the site and when someone is new to the site, you don't know if they are a 12 year old or a 4th generation farmer. If someone with no background with waterfowl takes your joke seriously and ends up with a stiff fine or jail time, the joke kind of loses its humor too. When the penalties are potentially as high as this, I would prefer to take no chances when this site has a reputation for providing accurate and helpful information. In no way did I condemn you or insult you for posting this joke so I see no reason for you to yell.

@chalis - This is by no means an insult to your knowledge or intelligence either. Just all I have is a name to go by so I have no idea what level of experience you are at. As I said above, you could be an impressionable preteen, or the president of a corporate poultry farm.

My only thought in posting was to keep a member from inadvertent harm.
