Mandarin Ducks
We kept Mandarin Ducks for 13 years from 2007 until 2020. We kept them for the joy of it and sold progeny when we had a surplus available. Mandarin Ducks are a small flighted duck which need to be housed in an aviary. We housed our Mandarins in a large aviary with natural surrounds and a pond with running water which they loved. We believe that keeping them in a large aviary with a natural environment is the secret to the generally good success we had in breeding these birds naturally.
We have closed our mailing list as we are no longer selling Mandarin Ducks. If you have questions regarding keeping Mandarin Ducks we compiled all that we learnt into an ebook which you can purchase below.
