Wax. Have bucket of liquid paraffin wax there (be very careful making
it liquid. Double boiler or outdoors recommended. Highly flammable).
Dip the defeathered duck in the hot wax, let it cool to solid, strip
the wax. Almost all the pinfeathers come right off. Been there, seen
it done, never done it myself. My mother warned me to never learn how
to clean wild game and I took the lesson to heart. No problem, as my
husband's not a hunter and I don't eat any wild game other than
squirrel, rabbit, and pheasant. Well, fish, but that's different.
Fish are easy.

Ladies leg waxing stuff might work, too, but they may add perfumes and
coloring. I don't know, as I've never tried the crud.
