OK let's all buy that farm in Idaho. I'm sick of limitations.

I just checked Meyers site, you said they have them available for the 15th? When I looked it said they were out of stock

I bet a box of silkie chicks and ducks will cheer Drum up

Or we could buy a house in NC

I did add dawn to the water and I made sure the water was penetrating with a wooden spoon, agitating the bird. It was still horrible. LOL I also saw a site talk of parafin waxing, but sheesh...

If you find the plucker works, let me know, otherwise, the ducks at the store are looking better all the time.

Skinning a duck is just wrong. Duck skin is the most wonderful of all skins for eating.

If you aren't super picky and can stand the occasional down or pinfeather, the meat is worth it. They are fool proof to raise- easier than chickens.

I couldn't agree more on the skin. It's the best part.

I'll try and "catch" a duck to try it on one of my pluckers I'm working on.

Duck hunting season is coming up. I've never done it but am willing to learn.

Hey PP, got any extra ducks we can try this on? We could drive up this weekend.

The only extra one I have is that pekin, not sure how good the meat would be, he's 2 years old. Plus he gets a lot of exercise from chasing the silkies around

We have some mallards that swim in the little pond/stream next to our house...bring your paint ball gun

Hmmm. I wonder what they would taste like. I'd bring a good pellet gun and
Sandy to retrieve them. The CT DEP would love this.

They don't have to know

But I might have some extra ducks, they're about 8-12 weeks now, but I want to sex them first so I can get rid of my extra males.

Hey I just checked out your link. (Man I love not being on dial up!) Is there a chick in there with your egg turner? Could it get hurt? nervous mothers need to know these things!

You mean my webcam? It's not even on, that might be an old video. But yes the chicks hatched with the turner in there, but off, they all did fine
