Okay. Here are the "instructions"
The sock is a kids size 7-8, I picked up a 3 pack for $1 so thats 6 diapers plus an 8 pack of shoelaces for $1 so 16 if those. Gotta love the $1 store never know what you'll find.
Sock laid out- side view
Laid out- top view
I made a slit down part of the "toe" section to make it easier to get on. There are holes cut in the "toe" on the top and in the neck strap (ankle).
Top view with shoelace. She is small enough that the "neck" is tied together with the laces. Crisscross over back for more support.
View from above, tied in bow above tail.
In the "toe" I have a piece of doggy diaper (I found at a thrift store 10 XL for $1.50)
I am only leaving it on for 20-30 minutes at a time to get her used to it. She struggles a bit at first but calms quickly.
Problems so far- if she is just sitting on my shoulder, she reaches around and unties the laces. I need to find some other fastener but am not going to worry until she is bigger. I actually picked up to dog collars at the $1 store for the clips (they were $2 each at walmart) I also picked up some fabric at the thrift store, its stretchy so I'll see later.
UPDATE from DH- He arrived home last night and said "Why is there a duck in the living room? Is this going to be an indoor duck?" I replied that I don't know yet. She is too small to go outside.
For those of you with indoor ducks, adults, what do you house them in at night, when you are not home etc? I have a small dog crate for now but she will outgrow that quickly.
Olamina Goose's first sock diaper!
Thanks for the tip! This should be a sticky! I used a panty liner maxi pad (22 count from the dollar store) instead of the dog training pad. I loosely double tied the shoe laces and Ola nibbled at the laces a bit but she couldn't undo it. This was super easy, fast, cheap, and effective!
Here is my prototype I finished today. It is intended for an American Buff goose.
This is the front (part that goes under goose's belly). It's hard to tell from the photo, but the two straps are sewn to the front, forming a half loop. The goose's head will go through this loop. The adjustable straps came from an old bra I haven't worn in years.
Here is a side view. I went with an open tail design so the goose can reach her oil gland. The pouch at the end is to catch all the poo. It fastens directly across the goose's back with bra hooks. The strap that runs the length of the goose's back was made with the other bra strap and fastens with a button. I decided to use a coat button since that's what I had on hand. It was my first time using the button hole feature on my brother sewing machine. It's not pretty but it works great!
Back view closed. Fastened securely vertically with button and horizontally with bra hooks.
Back view open. I sewed a liner into the poo catcher to hopefully reduce/avoid leaky messes. I also sewed a piece of elastic to help make it more of a pouch. If I get a few days use out of it, I'll be a happy camper. I am going to use disposable diapers cut in half as inserts. Now, all I need is a model. I can hardly wait!
thanks, it could have been much worse though, my dad (thank God he lives nextdoor) ran over and fixed the issue and also gave his vote of either feral cat or raccoon. But I know there are two feral cats running around the area. Never imagined they could climb the tree and then smash themselves through the ventilation space (maybe 6 inches in height). Still horrible for my little guy. Lost a Buff Orpington, booted bantam hen, and some red sex linksOh nooooooo!!!! I am so sorry!!!
