Your kids are going to disect ducklings??? maybe you should let them grow a bit fierst so there is enough for a roast afterwards

Here is one place to start Jamey and there there are the poultry forums.
Is part 2 cooking- part 1 growing?

Heh... nah in Biol we basically got a day old duckling and raised it to an adult, was on my grandparents farm for years after that.

Part 1 Raising Duck
Part 2 Pet Duck............................... Kinda like Pet Rabbit that i eye off everyday for a feed

The kids love their animals, cant wait to get some Land so they can raise some potty cows and lambs all the experiences i had as a child
