Butchery/plucking

Plucking and butchering your ducks properly is an important step in making the most of your game.

This section covers everything you need to know—from field dressing and safe handling to the tools and techniques that make the job easier. Whether you're fully plucking for a whole roast bird or breasting for quicker preparation, understanding how to process your ducks correctly ensures better flavour, quality, and food safety. You’ll also find advice on freezing and storing game birds to keep your harvest in top condition until you're ready to cook.
