Yes in the fall, you can message me through Facebook. facebook.com/Wildlifewaterfowl/

I've had some hatch in a day and others take 3 days.

@@duckdays9451 Thanks. I just hatched some on Sunday but it took around 3 days plus and I had to intervene on all the eggs.

I'm in CT

If you find the right treats they will calm down. Try some peas for a little bit. Also use Mazuri waterfowl food as a treat, you can throw some in the water with them and it will float for 10 minutes or so.

Mine have had 3 breeding seasons and she only laid 2 eggs with 1 hatch. Some people raise tons.

I don't sell eggs, just birds.

I don't sell eggs just grown birds.

I don't sell eggs just adult birds in the fall.

That's the best part of Ring teal the male keeps his color all year.

First year.

I have clipped wings then they can't fly until they molt which is around 8 months from when I get a duck. Pulling the feathers hurts much less than you think, and the duck can fly in a month. I usually don't do either, but some ducks don't settle down for a while and can hurt or kill themselves flying into the netting. I had a Wood duck that almost died hitting the netting that was in the aviary for a week, I clipped him after that.

The running water definitely helps, I no longer loose Wood duck chicks.

It's just leafy weeds. I plant grass occasionally but the brood leaf takes over. The pen is shaded a lot that mite be why it grows so well.

I usually use a 1000 watt in my 500 gallon pool, lately I have a 1500 watt to replace the last one that died. They typically last at least 2 years. this is the brand I use. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QXN1GY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

The big pool is over 1500 gallons and only uses the green house with no heater.

Only adult ducks around 2 to 3 months old.

I had a pair of Hoodeds in the other pen for a few years, the only issue I had was last year when my male had no mate during breeding season and he cross bread with a hen wood duck and I had 5 hybrids. I also had the Buffleheads in that pen for a couple years. I'm keeping one pen just for divers.

The hens will start to get a bulge between her legs towards her vent when she starts getting eggs. She will also start checking out the boxes. Mandarins use a Wood duck box.

The coop and the outside brooder both have ice and water for a roof, I had extra from doing a couple roofs. I was going to do the boxes, but I ran out and I was thinking it may be too much heat with a black roof in the sun. It's already 90+ degrees out when my teal are nesting. I see other peoples boxes with it though.
