"Disgusting, duck wings with quail wings about how great!" The face of a waiter served the crispy duck, Mr. Wang how couples have no appetite to eat. They called the hotel returns, waiter refused, then they call the "110", the shop only then drained away the plate of crispy crackling 39 per duck. Wang yesterday to reflect the community newspaper, which is on the 12th night he and his wife in a hotel dining Simon encountered embarrassed. How looks like a duck's wings the size of quail wings? Yesterday, reporters to investigate this Xiqiao Shi.
In accordance with the manufacturers of vacuum packaging, the afternoon news arrived of the community in yanqiao Jing farm. Entered the farm, is a large body of sight, but no sign of the duck. Go straight ahead and nearly 300 meters, "Ga Gaga" duck calls pass out. 80 square meters of land about seven ducks all, the reporters saw the duck's wings, very small indeed. Duck whole body yellow, hairy.
"Why is this duck wings are very small?" A man of the farm, said these are "baby duck." The reason why culture is not long on the slaughter market, mainly taking into account the cost factor. Once the feeding cycle is long, and put the duck duck feed costs and the actual sale proceeds are not proportional, so here's the duck farming for nearly a month or so to kill, so that profits should be relatively higher.
It is reported that the duck's body weight is not heavy, each less than 1.5 kg, while cooked only about 0.5 kg of normal weight, the weight of the current hot hotel duck basic in 0.45-0.5 kg. Sales staff told reporters here duck part not only in Wuxi Hotel hot, hotels in nearby cities also have sales. Ducks in the hotel selling pot to 40 yuan, purchase price as long as more than 10 yuan, and profits are low.
"Ma sister" Miss Cui told reporters that she sometimes go to the supermarket to buy ducks have been slaughtered packaged, the price is very cheap, less than 12 yuan per kilogram.

If you go to farms to buy live ducks, then the minimum price per kilogram, 20 yuan, or even close to 30 yuan per kilogram. Miss Cui also wonder, farms selling live ducks, how to deal with than a good duck sold on the market so much more expensive. Particularly large price differences between the two, people can not figure.
Yesterday afternoon, reporters came to a large supermarket, found in the refrigerated area's net wrapped duck, priced at only 10 yuan per kg. Cao Zhang in the food market, a price per kilogram live ducks is 27 yuan, more than double the supermarket price.
In another food market, a person selling duck, explaining the secret of them: supermarkets selling cheaper duck farming is very short, usually no more than a month, while sales of live ducks farms in at least one and a half months longer than even still. The former farming costs are much lower than the latter, the price difference out naturally. At present, many hotels are selling duck duck breeding time is very short because of high profits, many farm-raised ducks a month after the general close to "slaughter" the. One specifically for a hotel duck farmers also told us that they farmed ducks growth cycle of 45 days, has been considered a tall big duck.
Reporter deliberately photographed in the picture into the farm animal disease control center of the city identified by experts. The center Fanzhu Ren told reporters from the image point of view, those who have not feathered duck, who are all fluff. Obviously, these duck breeding cycle did not last long. Fan Zhuren said, duck into duck feed costs and the growth rate is a curve, generally a month or so ducks grow faster than the 1 month to grow slowly, and this led to a large number of ducks were not "adult "sold on the market. However, as some people questioned this duck is not containing hormones, Fanzhu Ren said that it needs to feed the feed, feed ducks and other aspects of body residues to detect, and sometimes it is impossible to judge.
As for why other organs are much the exception of the wings look very small, the Urban Forestry Board, a livestock expert told reporters, because duck is the last development of the wings, other parts have grown very big, also led to the public in the table to see a strange duck wings. The experts also said that eating this duck is safe, but taste and breeding ducks for a bit longer than that, meat should be loose, and therefore the public need not worry.

Wang wife suddenly gone appetite, pay to the crew before they made: this disc odd duck because the wing is small, a little scary, they did not move to require drained away. Unexpectedly, the waiter did not agree to withdraw. The two sides deadlocked for a while, or did not negotiate. In desperation, Wang dialed "110."
Police soon arrived at the beginning the shop was reluctant to return. "If the police dare to eat the duck, we are willing to pay!" Said Mr. Wang's wife angrily. Police to the scene to mediate for a while, then head of the hotel promised to return. "At that time, the semi-attendant took out the duck, I clearly see the ducks is a manufacturer Wuxi yanqiao!" Wang specially pay attention to the production of ducks in the factory.
To confirm that Mr. Wang's remarks yesterday at noon, the reporter deliberately get to that restaurant meal, and ordered a crispy fried crispy duck.
