My little drake hasn't figured it out yet I don't think. So far no development in the eggs I've put in the incubator. He gets really excited and chases when there are puddles, but I haven't actually seen him catch them or do the deed. Just excited zoomies and muttering.

Is he trying in the pool? I think the young boys learn better in the water. And of course it works better when the girls are willing participants.

(ps, I just had a local friend message me and ask me to hatch some seramas for her!! )

A 2X2 is a nonstick cotton square used for wound care. They come in so many sizes but I have found that 2X2 or 4X4 work wonderfully. The pain reliever theory was tested and proven to not be as problematic as originally thought. I personally like the plain stuff better, but that's just an opinion. Oh yes, I forgot about clear Iodine. I haven't used it, but I will next time I treat for bumblefoot. I will try to get pictures tomorrow when I wrap Honey Boo Boos foot. Her foot is wrapped as a preventative measure, but I wrap it the same way. There are also some articles here on BYC's that cover wrapping duck feet. I have been wanting to get pictures of the way I do Honey Boo Boos so now I have an even better reason. Some wrapping styles work better for different folks and different ducks. I just tried multiple ways and found this works best for us

Thank you! I kind of thought that's what the 2x2s are I just wasn't sure.

Sometimes? He gets the most excited over the puddles though. The older hen is not a willing participant. And the younger hen is indifferent. I think she takes her queue from the older hen. He and his brother would "play leapfrog" in the pool together.

People please be Wary of your dux. I think they sent spies to Wuhan.

Yesterday, a flock of dux flew over my head. They were a good 200 ft up, I assume on a bombing run. They released some kind of biological agent.

Today I have a severe head cold and feel quite ill. A coincidence? I think not.

The seller said both drakes were hatched in July!
And I'm downloading another picture of him.

Yesterday I got the stuff to wrap Angelina's feet with. I was wondering what kind of containers do all of you use to hold your chicken/duck first aid? I want to get a better understanding of how everything should be stored and what works best.
Thank you in advance.
