Would prefer them to be locally sourced ducks.

Some come with heads and feet so if you are averse to that check for the beheaded (and befooted?) ones. The Bell and Evans ones sold at Whole Foods are excellent as well but considerably more $$.

I believe they're locally, organically raised. You should ask though. Tue Nov 03 14:17:07 -0800 2009 5151891 94227 egit
