Here are the USFWS regs that outline the different approved ways of marking
"domestic" waterfowl and the associated record-keeping.

My experience, through WRC, is many, many people dump their waterfowl after
raising the birds and they don't follow the regs
As a birder who's also been raising ducks on and off since the late
90's, I can add my two cents to this saga. The Tufted Duck would be a
specialty item, likely acquired via auction. Also, anyone who owns
such a specimen would likely clip its wings. One isn't going to
purchase a Tufted Duck
Here are some better directions to the location I posted previously:
>From Hwy. 61 turn north onto Wacouta Rd./301st. St. Stay right and the road
will come to a T at Lakeview Ave.; take a right and follow the road all the
way east to where it turns downhill and curves to the left along 316th Ave
Bird has been refound by John and Chris Hockema at 2:45 PM at the east end
of Wacouta Rd. This is private property but permission was granted to view
from the shore. This is about five miles down shore of Colvill Park.

Bird flew about 845. Bird had all halluces and no bands. We have open wing
shots and will review. Tail was fresh.

Duck today (Jan 7) at Colvill Park in Goodhue Co.
So far its origin (i.e. wild or captive) has not been determined. If it is from
a farm—and yes, there are farms in Minnesota that have Tufted Ducks—it is
required by
