My hubby wants to eat my ducks. I don't know if I could eat any of my babies.

I hope not. I plan on eating my quail. I have raised a batch of meaties, but never again. Not cost/time effective and I just didn't like the whole process. Plus I'm in the suburbs, have to do it small scale so not worth it. Same for turkeys. It's also not worth my time to pluck ducks. Since I'm in the suburbs I could only do a few here and there, not enough to justify renting a plucker. I don't like skinned birds. If I could find a good processor who didn't charge too much...

Just have him do the culling

Then make a wonderful dinner & say grace. We thank GOD & our "meat of choice" for giving us such a wonderful meal for our family. I know where & how our food was raised, happy, healthy, free of cages. Hormone free, tumor free, and no other yucky unnatural stuff

I found an outfit up here that will let you rent a commercial plucker by the hour/day/weekend. So I am trying to keep all my birds around the same age so they can all be culled at once, and they rehatch & do it again for a rea round supply. But I want Quail, Chukar, Pheasant, Turkey, Guinea, Duck, & Goose. I also heard Peacock is a real delicacy
