i don't know if i am misreading this.. but how would free ranging the ducks negatively affect the taste? or were you just referring to the low weights..?

Glad you are back!!

Be sure to keep your farming projects in perceptive and within your means. Do not go all out otherwise you will burn yourself out big time. Its best to be on the waiting list than trying to keep up with the demands and if something evil befalls your farm, you would be really scrambling to get ahead.

Coming in here late because I know all too well about the not having time to log on, Jeff, but I'm glad to hear everything is going well. Can't wait to hear more about that breeding project of yours.

Just the low weights... sorry I should have clarified. I believe the taste was bad due to age. I kept pushing them a couple weeks longer trying to get more weight on them. The ones at 8 weeks were 6 pounds live weight and never went higher. Usually you want a duck that weight dressed.

Must have been just the low weights, then, I guess.
