Sexing by size

[Luv Ducks]

I had a neighbor with a drake flock that I used to rehome drakes to. But now that food prices are up I eat them instead.

Aren't they hard to process and are they greasy like some people say they are???

The Amish do it for $3…. And yes, they are greasy but the fat is SO yummy. I cook it on a rack with a pan under.

I live quite a ways from any Amish country here. I have heard that they will process them for people though. I am glad you can make good use out of yours. Our Aldi store here sells ducks and they are $35.00 a piece. Frozen on top of that so you are doing good to do it the way you do. Thanks for the info.

My theory was proven incorrect. The black ducks were small so I thought boy. One is, one is fully quacking. I thought all the gray ducks were girls. The solid and one bibbed are girls, the gray bibbed with white wing tips are boys. 4 are girls, one is a boy, and I’m not sure about the other. Unfortunately both chocolate ones died. One early on and one last week. And a gray bibbed one died when I forgot the light one night. All the others are doing well. Although currently upset I chased them all

So sorry you lost some of them. They sure are cute and I am glad that you got so many girls!
