Preparing to set call and pekin duck eggs! Hatch day should be March 4, 2021 if all goes well!

She's not supposed to swim while wrapped, right?

Mine do.

Looks like you wrapped it right.

The only problem that could come from swimming is one, getting the bandage wet making it where they can get it off, or if you had a lot of vet wrap or something that would get heavy and weigh them down where they couldn't get out of the water. Just use your judgment on that depending on what kind of swimming situation you have set up for them.

If wings are hanging a little bit low, do you usually wrap them? My largest Aztec has low hanging wings. I thought this was a matter of him needing to build muscle to carry them properly. I hope I haven't ruined his chances of holding his wing properly. Another one of them looks to have possible scoliosis, if that's even a thing for ducks. His tail is crooked (wry tail) and his body is almost one sided. I'm almost positive that he was my last to hatch and was extremely malpositioned. I believe they may be too old to do anything for. I feel terrible for that but I didn't realize it was anything but an issue that would resolve on its own

On a brighter note: I walked out to something hilarious this morning… Munchie my little Pastel call drake was attempting to mount my jumbo pekin hen… Needless to say it was not working out… View attachment 2783155
