Support Group for Abused Duck Keepers

[fluffycrow]

I keep popping in here to laugh at all your ducks come up with. I’m NOT in the market for ducks, but you’ve lightened my mood many a time the past week.

You'll quickly realize, once you join this thread, the ducks are closely following suit

I'm not an enabler, no, not at all. And this definitely isn't the link to a 35.5 inch tall duck banana Banana Duck Plush Toy - Comfortable and Elastic Banana Plushie, Add Interest to Life Banana Duck Plush Stuffed Animals Hugging Pillow, Throw Pillow, Lumbar Pillow, Room Decoration Gift 19.7" (amazon.com)
It does not come in 19.7 inch and 27.5 inch sizes too.

I need one of these in my life
There's something simply beautiful about ducks crossed with bananas.
I don't know why. But it's the stuff of dreams

Omg les bebes!!! They're adorable look at them, planning their dictatorship

The four on the left... mostly practicing their "innocent" eyes, but one of them is letting their character slip... looks like he's plotting something....

Ok so @BelovedBirds yoy may have been right. As soon as I came back out my boy felt the need to abuse me again
Thank goodness we are learning the word NO now

Since they're such pickles, I wouldn't bother with wrapping their feet at this stage. Focus on keeping the ground as clean as is reasonably possible, in the coop etc. Figure out who's feet need a little attention and practice handling them, do short epsom soaks, and monitor. One step at a time. If they're definitely looking like bumbles, then we can address the next steps. But patience and practice is key.

Thank you! You all are a big help, honestly.

What is it that'd making it challenging? Are they getting their wings free? Or is it the kicky feets?

A little bit of both, mostly their wings. After a few seconds of climbing around I can usually ge them to pause for as long as I need, but as soon as I go to shift positions so I can get to their feet, they're at it again haha. No doubt @New duck mommy 2021 's method will work, its just getting to that point. I even brought a towel just in case, just didn't have enough time to pull it out .

The place I have the coop is a bit of a problem with drainage, especially after it rains so there's almost always a little water in the run. That makes it more difficult with trying to find a dry place to pick them up. I'm thinking tomorrow or over the weekend I'll redo their hay in the coop, though.

He's like "idk mom, they're not tasty enough today, and you're not standing still which is making consumption very difficult"

Exactly this!!!
