What are the thoughts on hobbling a drake. I am thinking about neoprene ans Velcro, something gentle on the skin, able
To get wet and somewhat stretchy. After my recent experience with him getting hurt in his drake jail, and having witnessed him scale a 5’ fence only to fall down the opposite side I wonder of some hobbles wouldn’t be a more safe and humane way of keeping him from running the girls down. The 10 of them are in a fenced area with about 600’ of fence in an irregular shape. So plenty of room . I feel like just slowing him down might let the girls just easily evade him.
Any thoughts?
