You should definitely look into waxing that bird then. Singing off the pin feathers is also supposed to be very nice, as well. Without either of those, the carcass looks pretty stubbly, or it takes FOREVER to get rid of all the pins.

I served home-grown geese a few years back for the holidays. The processing was a nightmare, but the finished product was incredible. I didn't know about the alternative methods of feather removal back then. I would do it much differently these days.

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion CMV. I am still working out the details but must hurry as next weekend will be the day.

Well I went and picked up the ducks this morning and I will be processing next sunday... I am somewhat excited, although I am not expecting this to be easy, and I look forward to the experience. Someone will be 'showing me the ropes' and I am glad, so far, that I have came across this opportunity. Still wondering about pin feathers? is it possible to miss them at all or will they be there on every duck that is between 5 and 6 months?
