Meat Ducks

[obsessed]

I have 4 meat ducks and although they are bigger than the layer ducks I got they don't look that big (especially when you compare their growth to meat chickens). They are jumbo Pekings from Mcmurry. I have been feeding them chick start cause that is all I can get.

I think I am supposed to process them at 8 weeks, but should I wait a bit for more growth or should I just do it?

Can you get cracked corn?
i would feed them only cracked corn for a week before butchering, and yes anytime for butchering would be fine, they should be nice and tender!
