I was wondering what the preferred way to freeze your birds is? I have a vac sealer and used it last year. It the one I have left looks like it might have a little burn on it (was a whole bird, not just breasts). Do you guys forgo vac sealing whole birds and just do the block of ice deal?

Unless I'm planning to eat them soon, I put ducks into a ziplock freezer bag and add enough water to cover them completely. So yeah, the block of ice deal. Nearly all my ducks get breasted though.

Breast them and take the legs and freeze them in a ziploc full of water. I have never had a freezer burn issue when freezing them in water, however I seem to always have issues when I have vac sealed them. Maybe if you had a top dollar industrial vac sealer it would seal better, but the cheap-o ones don't do well.

Yeah I usually like to just breast them and if they're big ducks i'll take the legs. But sometimes my wife wants me to pick them so she can do a roast or something different.
I don't have much problem vac sealing the breasts and legs, I just have a simple one from cabelas but it works well. So long as no liquid gets under where it's going to seal.
