I've kept hens before, but never ducks and geese. Really helpful book. It answered all the questions I had and I learnt a lot. Great illustrations. Well worth the money.

We bought this book to get us going on ducks and geese. It has done just that. It is well written with a lots of high quality pictures, diagrams and associated text. We also thought the recipes were excellent - apparently duck eggs are just the thing for baking. The feedback from our more experienced duck and geese friends is that we made a good choice in this as our starter book.
Just the ticket for the beginner.

This superbly presented book will tell you everything you need to know to get started with ducks and geese. Packed with great pictures and easy to digest information, the authors have explained everything incredibly well. If you don't recognise the authors names, then you won't need to go far to find them - with several other titles to their names and monthly articles in many poultry magazines, they are one of THE authorities on waterfowl.
One of the reviews mentioned a poor binding - well I have had my copy since it was released and I am frequently bending the spine back to open pages for reference and the book is still robust, despite me mis-treating it! The problem book should have been returned for replacement.
I would highly recommend this book and the authors other books - 5 stars from me!
