They finally arrived. I got 26 and one died about two hours after arrival. I wasn't surprised though, it was much smaller than the others and didn't seem capable of walking. Processing day is set for July 30th. I'll have a team of four people helping and I am hoping to get all 25 done in a single day. I am about to butcher 3 pekin ducks by myself tomorrow. It will be my first time butchering an animal, so I hope it goes well. I have watched tons of tutorial videos and read a lot on this site and other sites, but I still feel totally unprepared to actually do it.
No matter how much you prepare, the first time is full of eye openers. I don't envy you doing ducks your first time out. I hear they are much harder to process. Good luck.
