Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

Thank you! Much to read through. Not wrapping around the whole body does seem like a better way to me.

Ya it does look easier. . but I think a sock or something to go around the whole body will be needed in order to keep it on. With the wing not pinned down to the body it would probably be even easier for them to get the wrap off. Be careful not to wrap too tightly, someone towards the end of the thread ended up with hers getting an infected wing.

I couldn't get her to talk for a video this morning tho. Lol.
BUT she has been doing the pancake thing quite a bit whenever I go to pick her up
I would assume that's female behavior?

Ouch yes I saw that! Makes me scared of my wrapping abilities causing problems.
