Clip the flight feather on just one of the wings.. makes them uneven and can't fly...

Oh and hold its feet cause those claws will slice you wide open... Trust me it does not feel good!!

It's easier with two people what I do is I catch the duck(keep an eye on those claws!) have someone hold the duck while you spread the wings and clip the flight feathers not the secondaries otherwise the ducks wings look messed up if you do just clip the primaries so they can't fly and they still look nice.

Ok so i have 2 girls sitting on a nest of 27+ eggs. Well fore past week the one will pick on the other one cause the other wants some of her eggs back and in this process the one hen tends to get kicked out AND eggs are starting to be rolled out of nests due to all this. Do i need to take them and incubate?

Maybe so...... Or divide them into two separate nests.

Sadly I did that in the beginning . However I have a momma and babies in the only area we can seperate. I hate to take the eggs away but idk if I'll have a choice
