Debbie, it was filmed a few weeks ago. Took forever for all of the snow to melt. It's all gone now.

How many aviaries do you have for your waterfowl?

We have two at this time. One is much larger than the other.

@@life-springs-farmandaviary5908 Keep up the good work. More waterfowl videos please. Take care.

@David Contreras Our Lady Amherst did not lay eggs this year; not sure why.

Typically the price shows the difficulty of a species to keep and propagate in captivity. That said , I've found Smew to be not too difficult to keep on our Spring fed ponds but have found they can expire for no apparent reason. They tame easily and will accept their favorite treat ,Dried mealworms from my hand . The depth of the pond is less important than the freshness of the water therefore if a pond is shallow with a constant flow , which is important, it will stay fresher. I feed them a standard duck pellet with scratch grain and the dried mealworms in winter til March then I feed Mazuri duck breeder . The babies are very hard to start eating I will put other babies in to show them how to eat.

@@life-springs-farmandaviary5908 thank you for your reply. I might give them a go then.

Northern Michigan, sorry, just ran across your comment.
