About Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks

<p><em>Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks</em> provides vital information for anyone wanting to keep ducks. It covers everything - choosing the right breed, including rare breeds and hybrid ducks; breeding and rearing practices; feeding; butchering; and, a comprehensive resource section for both the novice and the veteran farmer. New and Expanded features include: expanded breed section; more information on facilities for ducklings, health, and disease treatment; a compendium on marketing and record keeping; section on colour genetics; and, new information on rarer breed conservation. </p>From Booklist<p>Storey has long been known as a go-to press for exemplary animal-husbandry titles, and now it is releasing some of its best-sellers in substantially revised editions to satisfy growing demand for information on their increasingly trendy topics. Almost a third of the material in this update of a 2001 title is brand new, including current guidelines for disease prevention and maintaining healthy flocks and new overviews of organic methods. Also expanded is the resource section as well as a discussion about the importance of rare breeds, a topic that fits easily into the larger movement to preserve the widest possible gene pools in plants and animals. As in the previous edition, readers will find all the basic, technical facts they need to start and maintain their own fowl-raising operation, beginning with “choosing the right duck,” and throughout, sidebars from experienced voices offer sobering advice on such topics as thwarting predators (“Just one raccoon visit can wipe out your entire flock”). Extensive charts and a scattering of photos round out this essential guide. --Gillian Engberg </p>From the Back Cover<p>A perfect choice for many farmers, ducks produce eggs and meat efficiently, thrive in inclement weather, help control insect and snail populations, and they're also entertaining and beautiful. From selecting the breed that's right for you to rearing, housing, and caring for your birds, <em>Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks</em> provides essential advice and practical know-how you need to keep a thriving flock. <br />The revised and updated second edition includes:<br /><em>Expanded coverage of 23 domestic North American breeds<br /></em>Preview of natural and artificial incubation<br /><em>Revised and expanded guide to duck colors<br /></em>Up-to-date information on disease prevention and treatment<br /><em>Guidelines for showing<br /></em>Tips on rare breed conservation</p>
