How much pork to mix in for duck sausage?

I have some ducks (puddle ducks and divers both) that I'd like to make some sausage with. Anyone have a recommendation on a ratio of pork to duck? Also any recs on seasoning would be appreciated.

I have eaten goose sausage before and don't think it had any other meat mixed with it. If you like the taste of duck I would not cut it with pork. But I would grind some bacon ends with it to offset the dry duck meat.
I ate this at the Hackberry Rod and Gun club below Lake Charles when Terry Shaunessey was still running the place.

If you want it to taste like duck, add nothing.
If you want it to taste like bacon, add bacon.
If you want it to taste like duck with some added fat, add a small amount of not smoked pork fat.

I guess you could mean turkey bacon?

I like duck, but I wouldnt think a straight blend would be very appetizing. Ive always had it 50/50, 60/40 and it's very good.

what I meant was boston butt which is what is generally used with deer sausage.

I guess I stepped in this big time.

Just add pork fat (not the meat, just the fat). Around a 6:1 ratio of duck meat to pork fat (that's roughly 15% pork fat fwiw) should work.

I use 60% duck, 40% boston butt

see if you can find pork trimmings. 40 / 60 and don't hold back on the herbs.

Made about 350 lbs ourselves a couple years back, using pretty close to 50/50. Came out great! Italian, Cajun, and Jalepeno & Cheese (cheddar)
get after it

yeah it is, I cleaned 19 big ducks this year and came up with exactly 4# boned.
In 3,2,1, speculation on:
a) if I was one over the limit to get to 19
b) was I over the possession limits
c) what I consider big ducks
d) comments on how I'm wasting the necks or whatever by not plucking
