Anyone know of a good source of Duck meat in Riverside county California or San Diego county California. It could just be in California I guess if they ship it. I am looking on line. Most of what I see is precooked or very, very expensive.
I did happen to go to one, but at the time I wasn't looking for duck. What I did see was in clear frozen packages, nothing mentioned about USDA regulations etc.
But I hope to go and look again and ask re: USDA inspection.
I will have to buy a lot of it for Cody as this will be a novel meat source for his tummy for awhile. Thanks for the suggestion.
I also find duck at regular supermarkets around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Not a lot of help right now I now, but a heads up for later on. Another option would be checking out a restaurant supply wholesaler. You'd probably need to buy in 40# increments, but they'd probably have it/could get it.
yes, that is right. I wonder if they ever have duck around Easter. Thanks.
I was also looking into Emu or Ostrich. Emu has tons of vitamins-high in iron and is low in fat.
Anyone ever fed their dogs Emu or Ostrich? Or had it yourself?
Thanks sharon
If you have a Chinatown type of neighborhood where you live that is where I would head for duck. Butchershops here have it sometimes but its usualy frozen.
I've also seen it at Whole Foods, but anything at that store is ridiculous in terms of price.
I think Trader Joes might carry ostrich. A lot of grocery stores carry buffalo now, too.

Sharon,
Check for poultry shows in California area. They will have a list of feather fanciers around you that you can call. There is a good chance that these people will have , or lead you to, duck, ostrich, Emu, chickens, whatever you are looking for.

Was there a change in Cody's situation? I though he was eating chicken the last week and doing well? Has he started showing a symptom that makes you think he's not tolerating chicken?
Sorry your saga is continuing. I hope you are able to find what you're looking for. I generally find ducks readily available (if expensive) at Asian grocery stores. Duck bones are much harder than chicken bones, by the way. Commercial chickens are slaughtered at such a young age that their bones remain soft. Ducks must be considerably older at processing because the bones are quite hard.

Duck is always going to be quite a bit more expensive than chicken. I think asian markets will be a much cheaper way to go. As a thought though how about quail? You can usually get them year round, usually in bulk quantities, frozen whole, and fairly cheap.
