Easy to care for and raise, Mandarin Ducks are often regarded as some of the most beautiful birds in the world, making them our top-selling ducks. Available in vibrant normal coloration or a striking white color mutation, these ducks are sure to enhance the aesthetic of your water features.

Similar to their cousin, the wood duck, Mandarins are excellent choices for beginners. They are cold-hardy and can coexist well in a mixed collection. Often, Mandarin Ducks will breed in their first spring, utilizing raised nesting boxes. For optimal fertility, it is recommended to keep them in pairs.

While Mandarins can be somewhat nervous in an aviary setting, they are not as skittish as wood ducks. They appreciate having perches and hiding spots. If kept in open water, it’s advised that Mandarin Ducks be pinioned or at least have their wings clipped to ensure safety.

Mandarin Ducks have no special dietary requirements and can be fed the same diet as other waterfowl
