Suckers for Market Ducklings Fattening Mash Notes
Instructions for market ducklings urge two weeks of fattening on a highly specific mash blend. Two options given use cornmeal, middlings, bran or low-grade wheat flour, beef scrap, with grit and green feed or oyster shell, fed thrice daily. Green feed can be omitted in final week to prevent meat color changes.
