• place the duck in a 12-quart stock pot with enough water to cover the duck by 2 to 3 inches. bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook the duck at a simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. remove the duck from the broth, allow to cool, and pull the meat from the bones in bite-sized pieces. reserve the broth.
• preheat oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
• mix the cornbread crumbs, chopped biscuits, onion, salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and sage in a large roasting pan. beat the eggs in a bowl; pour over the cornbread mixture. add the chopped duck meat to the pan; stir to mix the dressing thoroughly. stir the reserved duck broth into the mixture until the dressing is very moist (about the consistency of thick pancake batter).
• bake in the preheated oven until a spoon inserted into the center of the pan of dressing will stand up, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
