I was wanting to do a habitat scene with a pintail hen and chicks. All I can find is day old mallard chicks. Is there much difference between day old mallard chicks and pintail chicks. Also has anyone scene what a pintail makes her nest out of. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

My hen pintail laid eggs in a bush under some day lilly plants in the yard
she had 11 eggs and something got them, she got away, but I put the
eggs (4) left in the incubator. The babys look more like woody babys
than mallards. They are a brown & white, more than mallards that are
brown and yellow. I only hatched one pintail out of that & it's now about 3weeks
old. The mallards are a lot yellow-er. (is that a word)?
How about mounting some baby woodys and a hen? I have some baby woodys that
didn't make it, I'll sell them at $5. each. Licenced and legal, with the
proper permit. If you need a legal hen woody, I have one of those that
I can sell. then you can sell the whole package. All legal. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help Bob, however this is a customer mount. I guess I will keep looking and if I cant find any then I will have to use mallard chicks. I hope he will not no the difference.
