What kind of sausage for a Duck and Sausage Gumbo?

The Besh recipe I have says chicken sausage. That seems odd, but I've never made it before and am planning on doing it for Christmas. What does the F&D Board recommend? I'm stuck in Alabama, btw, so speak in generalities instead of specific brands I can't get here. And, any suggestions or tips on the gumbo would be appreciated as well!

Any smoked pork sausage would be good. They've gotta have some good ones over there, don't they?

Duck and andouille is great
I'd put some andouille and some smoked pork sausage
I like fresh sausage too

I don't know how much prep time you have, but if you smoked a chicken, and then used the bones from the smoked bird to make a stock, that is gonna really help your flavor big time. You can add the dark meat from that chicken to the gumbo as well. Just keep the breast meat for a sandwhich or something. But that smoked chicken stock is gonna be a really good base for the other ingrediants.

Just my opinion, but the best gumbos I have ever made are the ones I make using what I have on hand.

Andouille is the only way with duck. I have used more traditional smoked sausage but you need a heavy pork flavor to counteract the intensity of the duck.

Conecuh is a good Alabama brand of smoked sausage - should work great.

I'd find whatever kind of Andouille you can and use Conecuh Smoked Sausage

Thanks everyone. Yes, Conecuh is good here. I use it with my jambalaya. I'll probably go with some Andouille and Conecuh.
Appreciate the feedback!
