Game birds can be prepared for the table the same way you would fix chicken or
duck. They can be baked and stuffed, fried or stewed — be creative and enjoy!
Waterfowl
Perhaps the most common species of game bird waterfowl are the Mallard duck and the
Canada goose. However, there are many others that are colorful and ornamental, and
good eating. When considering these birds, keep in mind that it is best for them to have
an adequate fresh water supply, usually in the form of a pond. In fact, inclusion of a
pond for wild waterfowl raisers is legally regulated in some states.
Game bird waterfowl do not do well on dryland pasture with limited access to the
water. Yes, they will survive, but they are never content or healthy and their feathers
never attain the same bright sheen they possess when raised with easy access to fresh
water.
Raise game bird waterfowl using the same practices as when raising domestic water-
fowl (see
chapter 13
, Waterfowl).
