Hi All,

I have Inherited a large steel frame flight aviary from friends moving to Aussie and two other large aviaries and was going to re wire it for starters and plan to build an internal pond for it inside by digging it out and lining it with plastic sheeting for a pair of each of these ducks

Are both species ok to live together.

Has anyone got any tips on how to breed them.

Breeder has told me to put large nestboxes in with a ramp to nesthole coming out of water

Are Carolinas in Aus.I have seen Mandarins in Aus but not Carolinas.

Thanks

As far as I am aware there aren't any Carolina woodys in Aus, Your local breeders would more than likely have a better grasp on breeding over there than us here due to the environmental differences.

There are but they are very few in number and numbers don't appear to be increasing much if at all.
