    Show off your house ducks!

    Hi guys! When it comes to leashes, I strongly recommend that you only use stretchy style leashes. I make a style, but any stretchy leash will work okay. The reason why is that when a duck is wearing a diaper harness (or a walking harness of mine), the harness is stretchy. If you use a stiff...
