Just wondering if, when it's time for our meat ducks to go to that Great Pond in the Sky, can we eat it the day we've processed it or does it HAVE to set in the fridge for a day or 2?

I have 4 hens and a drake. All less than a year old. Gals laid eggs...started off with 10 in the nest. Then one of the hens decided to set. She was doing great for 3 days and then today I noticed she's off the nest and we're down to 2 eggs! Found some shells that looked like they'd been pecked...

My Muscovy mama hatched out ducklings today. I know she had 13 eggs but I'm not sure how many hatched--they were all hidden under her (and pretty quiet!). The nest is in an old drawer padded with hay and feathers. Will they be able to get out on their own or should I give them something to get...
