I have both Muscovy and Welsh Harlequin/runner ducks. I have been having trouble plucking the Muscovys (haven't done the runners yet, they are scheduled for next weekend). I tried some dry plucking and tore the skin. Tried to dunk them (140-145 degree water with a little dish soap), still couldn't get the feathers out and tore the skin.
the feathers seemed a bit dry next to the skin, am I just not leaving them long enough to get really wet? But the skin slipped on the feet.....
