Ok, so the shears omare a minimal use item; it's more about the knife. That's what I'm taking away from your two comments

I would love to learn to spatchcock. I'm sure it's just a matter of deciding to do it... then practicing a bit to find the proper place to cut/break. Any readers spatchcock a duck? I have 16 duck eggs due to hatch Sunday, and am picking up an other 18. !0 of the first batch are Welsh Harlequin, and the other 6 are either pure Blue Indian Runner (so there may be some blue, some splash and some black, if I understand the genetics of it.) or IR x Khaki Campbell. So... they will all be light duty birds, but, I expect them to be tasty. I've never tasted duck! I hope to sell a lot of the ducklings to cover feed costs, but, am sure I'll end up eating some of the drakes. I did my gender egg shape selection so... it will be interesting to see if it will work with ducks. Also, setting a second batch of chicken eggs on Sunday.

probably won't get a lot of meat from the IR's...
