We raise them for resale. We sell them locally and at our club "tail"gate sales.....They are to expensive for them to be mouth-candy....

@waretrop No, was just curious if that was another possible source of income for you. I've bought lots of hatching eggs (chicken) off of ebay and people will pay good money for the breeds they want. Just wondered if you'd ever tried it.

OK I'm totally just curious here. How expensive are they? Do you keep them in housing similar to chickens? I don't know much about them other than they're gorgeous, lol!

Ooh I like Mandarin ducks! Wow you have a whole bunch! Very cool. I've never even heard of a Shelduck. Now I'm going to have to look them up!
