Poultry preservation thread (CW; deceased poultry)

Today I’m starting the process of preserving a duck.
My friends duck passed away from a seizure, I believe he’s some sort of call duck mix? Anyways, once he’s a bit more thawed I’ll be removing his neck/head, wings and legs. The neck/head will be in the salt for about 2 months while the legs and wings will be in for 1 1/2. I’ll be getting fake eyes once he’s done preserving.
I’m a bit worried about the rigor mortis causing issues, he passed away a little over a week ago.

I just skinned a rooster I had frozen for 6 months.
Rigor can be exercised out by moving the limbs.
