Margo, Agnes, and Edith

[duckdoula]

I got Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks. I have determined that my three ducks are girls, and since the biggest, older one takes care of the two smaller, younger ones, I decided to name them Margo, Agnes, and Edith after the three sisters on Despicable Me. They are such a joy. I so appreciate this forum for all the information and encouragement that is provided here <3 I want to put something around one of each of their legs to tell the younger ones apart, but I'm not sure what's best. Any thoughts?

They sound adorable! I think they sell rubber bands and leg wire wraps for that. I'd check your feed store. Do you have pics?

I use velcro wraps - they come in different colors. I put the soft side against the leg. A friend of mine uses colorful zip ties (I would be nervous about making them too tight, but she does a fine job with them).
