How can I own or buy these ducks because don’t you have to have a permit or something like that

[@duckdays9451]

It depends on what state you live in. I have a federal permit for North American waterfowl and also a state permit. Some states don't have one. The nonnative species like Mandarins don't need a federal permit.

@@duckdays9451 so basically what your saying is the non American waterfowl you can just buy like mandarin duck red crested porchard and Bahamian pintail. but American waterfowl you have to have a permit

[@duckdays9451]

@BanksGravette Yes unless your state wants a permit but most don't. The federal permit is not a big deal to get and not expensive either. Look up migratory waterfowl sale and disposition permit and you can find out all you need for North American species.
