duck processing

I am new to ducks and I was wondering what everyone's favorite plucking methods were. I have a homemade automatic plucker that works great for my chickens, but I'm not sure it'll work the same for the ducks. Just wanted to see what everyone else likes to use!

I'm considering getting a male duck to breed my female Muscovies. I'd like to raise the ducklings for meat. I've pretty much decided that a male Muscovy is not a good fit for my situation. He'd just be too big to keep over winter and I know they can sometimes be mean and have to be separated...
