    Default where to buy frozen ducks

    Any suggestions on where to buy frozen ducks, and how much should they cost, including shipping? Also, how long do you keep a bird after it's thawed, and how/where do you keep it after it's thawed (refrigerator, re-freeze it, etc)?

    Thanks, this is new to me but need to working with birds.

    I'm not sure where to buy already dead frozen ducks. But I know at hunt tests they will sometimes give away the used birds from the day. My ducks I will thaw, and refreeze. and then rethaw for the next time I need them.. In my experience you know when the duck is ready to become coyote bait.

    where do you live? i have a source for you in Maine, but if you live too far away it wouldn't work out.-Paul
    there's no good reason to fatten up a retriever.

    I keep mine in the fridge for about a month before they get to the point I need to toss them. I like them a little stinky since you will see that in many club training events. In the summer not quite as long...

    I was thinking check with your state's game and fisheries, in Virginia they list all the game farms that raise birds, you may have some local you can pick up and shoot your dog some live flyers before sticking them in the fridge/freezer..
