My wife and purchased 5 Muscovy ducklings for our farm about a month ago, we were told that they were all female and we were planning on raising them for eggs, however we have realized that 2 of them are drakes and we don't want them. We have decided that instead of just eating them, we'd like to treat ourselves and make foie gras, I'm in the process of ordering a gavage for the force feeding, but I would like to know if anyone has had experience with Muscovy foie gras and if it's worth the trouble? I know that the best foie gras comes from geese, but most of it is made from mulard ducks (hybrids of Muscovies and Pekins) these days, and most of the information about how long and how much to force feed them is directed toward these two types. So, how long and how much should we force feed the ducks before their livers are ready to harvest?
