To be safe it looks like I need one drake and 6 hens from what I can find out. They come straight run only so l think 15 ducklings would give us the best of the drakes to choose from and the best of the hens for at least 5 if not 6.

you like duck meat? I have only had it once and it was my cooking. blech..

I want Muscovy ducks because they are not supposed to be greasy like other ducks. I read somewhere that their breast meat is a lot like beef sirloin steak.

My wife cooked one way back in the 60's. It was made into orange duck and it was excellent.

Ducks are very hard to pluck I'm told if you have to do it by hand. I have to add Dawn dish soap to the scalding water and then my plucker will pluck then just fine.

I know you need to cook them rare.

I tried so hard to pluck. It just wasnt hapening. I ended up skinning and it took all the fat

I don't like any kind of rare meat. I thing they can be cooked in our big electric roaster with vegetables and be well done after cooking at a low temp longer.
