Nettie's Xtra Small Duck Diaper (Pics)

I'm dying to know how bad the mess is when you take off the diaper and how long you would leave it on. I've seen this sort of thing advertised before but have never gotten a reply.

do you make them for big fat ducks? I have a fat one named "chuckie" that I would love to let in the house to play from time to time!!!!

He's about 8-10 lbs???

the harness holds a half of a baby diaper and should be changed every 2-4 hours, much like a human baby... I wouldn't leave the harness on for more than half a day, with regular changes.... And I also give my ducks a bath after they've had their harnesses on. If they have access to food and water while wearing the diaper harness, it does get poopier quicker... if they are in a play pen, or in my case, in my front room, they don't have access to food/water while downstairs, the diaper isn't as poopy.

I have harnesses for all size duckies! i range from xxs-xxl! Your chuckie looks like a magpie? he'd probably fall in the medium range. the one that is in these pictures is the x-small. My ducks wear a small for runners (longer back strap) and so would any other ducks falling in the 3-5lb range. xxl is for big geese, but i am still experiementing with the bigger sizes.

im not saying that i dont agree with putting them on the ducks, i think they are a great idea but my ducks crap so much that i would have to change it every 2 mins.. be too much hard work id rather have them crap on my laminate floor its easy to wipe up lol

that's because they are growing babies.... babies poop 4 times more than an adult, lol... they eat a lot while they are growing their feathers. Once they get to be adults, they poop less frequently, but it can often be a huge splatter because their butts are further away from the ground when they get taller! lol. you don't want to let a grown duck poop on the laminate floor, because it won't end up in one nice pile to wipe up... my expol-o-butt victor has been getting great joy out of splattering his poop every where lately... including us... and it's watery so it gets EVERYWHERE!!!!! lol
