I have raised a few Cayuga ducks to about 3 months old now. What is a good age to harvest and how much of a Cayuga can you eat and best way to clean this duck? Any feed back would be helpful before I dive in.

I have several Cayuga ducklings about 3 to 4 weeks old. How long do you feed them starter feed before switching them to a waterfowl feed? I have several adult ducks and 2 geese about 2.5 months old and I feed them a waterfowl feed, but I am not sure they don't eat the layena for the chickens...
