I am a beginner at taxidermy and I am trying to find out how or even if you can keep the ducks real feet if you are using a manikin for everything else. If this is possible, how do you mount the feet? Or at least give me some websites that will help me find the answer.

Inject the feet with fantastic cast after running wire through the legs and card the feet. After they have dried then paint.
Can that be done if you are using a manikin? If so, how?
If you're confused on this point, you need to get a book, video, magazine, or go to the "beginners" section and do some "searching" to find out "how" the process works and then start on a project. Manikins are what the leg wires, and wing wires, and neck wires are anchored into and what forms the "body" for the bird.
