Can you share your pattern lay out?
Too much cute here.
Is there any fabric under the tummy or just around the body?
Thats really great and well explained too. Im going to make one for my hen, I've brought her in because its soooo cold outside, and she sometimes comes in the house anyway so now she can wander about indoors more freely. Thanks for sharing thatOkay. 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.

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.
