For as long as it needs. Be sure to get as much meat out as possible and keep it indoors to prevent feather mites from getting to them.
You can change the borax and add new borax on it also.
Any tissue left on the base of the tail feathers will prolong drying time.

It all depends on how much meat and bone you remove. I remove everything, so it takes mine only 2 to 3 weeks to dry. If it takes 4, 5, or 6 weeks, then it takes that long. It just means you didn't remove enough meat and bone. The more you leave, the longer it will take to dry. I showed pics on how much you should remove. I'll bump that thread back up.
