Interesting, lotion. My daughter was complaining about how funky their legs look while they shed.

Baby shampoo is probably what I will use, cuz I know Dawn is detergent and will strip oil out of car paint....causing oxidation....so always use car wash....that was a blast from my past!

I will focus on the underside, they tend to lay in poop. I have them inside, yes, and that is so they become "house ducks' rather than the skittish ducks I have outside. The minute we are home, we let them out and the follow us around the house and yard and take a shower with us, they love that! They take a daily treck to a baby pool and sometimes they get to swim in the big duck pool.

One looks like a Blue Swedish, one looks like a Cayuga and one is turning out to look like a Khaki Campbell, but we have none! So I think a rouen got a GH-300. She is beautiful, her feathers are dark. I will post more shots later.

I have been very busy tending to the ELEVEN that just hatched last night!

I really appreciate all the tips, those help a lot.I got bigger bins for them because they can hop out now, and the babies need a home. Anyone want a duckling? LOL

How do you keep them from pooping all over in the house?
