Drain the beans, and place beans in pan.
Add 8 cups water; bring to a boil. Cover and cook 1 hour or until just slightly firm.
Place 3 cups water in a large stockpot; bring to a boil.
Add rutabaga, and cook 5 minutes.
Add the potato, mushrooms, onion, carrot, and celery, and return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes or until crisp-tender. Set aside (do not drain).
Remove and discard giblets and neck from duck. Rinse duck with cold water; pat dry. Trim excess fat.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add duck pieces; saut 5 minutes on each side or until well browned.

Add the beans, duck, chicken, sausage, 2 3/4 cups wine, chopped parsley, vinegar, savory, thyme, salt, pepper, and broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Cover stew, and chill 8 to 24 hours.
