As far as I know, there are no inspected processors for water fowl. I may be wrong, but I haven't found one yet. Selling them is not a legal option unless you get them processed at an inspected facility.
I am looking at getting some ducks for meat this year, do I have to proccess them myself, or are there local options? I live in the Old Town area. If I had extra, how hard would they be to sell? I'm trying to decide how many ducklings to order.

Your friends and family rave about your homemade chowder, blueberry jam, ice cream, fudge, or other special food product. They say you should sell it and make a fortune. You wonder if they’re right, and if you have the drive and personality to run a…
