If done carefully, it’s possible to get foie gras without force-feeding the bird. They will naturally stuff themselves in the fall in order to fatten up for winter, provided they get enough outdoor time to notice the seasons are changing.

Choose your butchering time carefully, and you’ll have a nice fatty goose liver to use.

I read once that if you fed a flock of chickens until they would eat no more, then added a hungry chicken to the flock, it would start eating the food, and the others would join in again.

Maybe that’s the way, if duck and geese are like chickens in that regard. And why shouldn’t they be? I’ve met people exactly like that.
