Excellent! - By: , 01 Sep 2005 
As duck books go this really is as good as it gets. Great information well presented, & a pleasure to read. Lots of factual information pleasantly punctuated with anecdotes of the author's experiences. It has something for everyone from the complete novice to the hard core experienced duck keeper. All aspects of duck keeping are covered, housing, nutrition, incubation, rearing & illnesses to name but a few. The early sections decribing the characteristics of various breeds is hugely useful to a novice helping to decide what breed is most suitable for you given the environment you will be keeping your ducks in. If you don't own this book, buy a copy. If you don't have any Ducks, buy some so you can justify owning a copy of this book!
Sceptical buyer wowed! - By: , 05 Nov 2003 
Having purchased other books on chicken & duck keeping that were meant to be "the one book to buy" & being bitterly disapointed by them I reluctantly purchased this on the recomendation of another amazon customer. I have not been able to put it down, i'm absolutely knocked out by it & am purchasing the guide to raising chickens, if it turns out to be half as good as the duck version it will still be ten times better than any of the books i currently own on chickens. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Ducks - By: periperi, 18 Sep 2003 
Great book, full of useful information but please be aware that it is an American book so some of the info may not apply. Overall though this is probably one of the best out there on ducks.
