Plucking Muscovies

[Jpat]

Melt paraffin wax in hot but not boiling water "wax will stay on top". Dry pluck the hard feathers "wing, tail, outer body feathers" leaving only the short down feathers. Dip the whole bird in the water with wax on top. Then straight into very cold/ice water. The wax will harden into a "shell" on the duck. Then crack the wax and peel. All the down will come off with the wax. Works awesome!! Only way to process waterfowl.

Great info!
