chrisdooley 0 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hi Folks, This may sound dumb but heregoes. My neighbour has just given me a couple of Mallards for my dog, the question is What do I do with them? I will feed one to our dog tomorrow but the other will need to be frozen. I am planning to cut head and feet off and pluck them. Do I need to gut them, especially the one to be frozen? If so how do I do this? Our dog has been eating raw meaty bones including half chickens since she was about 16 weeks old so is used to this type of food. All help appreciated. ps did not ask my neighbour as he just thinks I will throw the whole carcass to the dog...or perhaps that is what I should do...? Regards, Chris.

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Cut the head off push the crop out to pluck it put it boiling water feathers will come out much easier...i always put a pair of marigolds on and do it under hot tap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chester 147 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 if you are giving it to the dogs mate just gut and skin it quicker than plucking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
