Yes, yes. I love chicken or duck gumbo with a hit of seafood from the oysters. If you're feeding the squeamish, you can cut the oysters into 1/2s and they'll practically disappear into the gumbo, leaving only flavor behind.

If it works for you go with it. That's the beauty of cooking. Endless possibilities and options.

The duck breasts will be too tough if not cooked for a long time?

Bingo...

Question: are these pen raised or wild ducks? Makes a difference. Always go wild if you can.

I've never had much success in cooking wild duck in a gumbo. The meat is so lean and tough, that it just comes out very dry. If I were to do a duck gumbo, I'd do a farm raised duck...much better.

Leg meat won't be dry. And just blow the breast meat apart with a long, slow cook. Works fine.
