He just finished the duck and is plucking him now! the roos are all done save for our one nice roo, he just cut the breast and thighs off and put them in salty ice water in the fridge is that even ok? he said he wont ever do again unless he has to lol i guess we will raise a cow and send it off to be processed to save him the trouble next time! he said SAMS club meat is just fine, i couldn't help but laugh. thanks guys for the tips!

That's one way to do it - just cutting off the breast and thighs if you don't want to use all of the chicken. I have - when I've boned out the carcass - boiled the carcass just for the broth and to get the last little bits of meat off it. Butchering isn't for everyone. It helps that I was raised hunting and fishing and learning young how to clean pheasants and ducks. We also process our own deer. The beef that my dad raises gets taken to the local processor. If you wanted, and have a place close by, you could raise meat chickens and take them in to be processed. A neighbor of ours raises 100 chickens a year and takes them in for $2.00 to have done. I'm glad you guys tried it, anyway. We only eat wild duck. DH was raised on tame duck and prefers wild.

If you didn't want to mess around with the scalding and plucking, you can just skin them, it's what i do and it's A LOT easier. It just pulls off like a sweater and when you get to the wings cut it off just below the drumstick, same with the legs. They make some awesome chicken and noodles.
