Book Reviews of Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks: Breeds, Care, Health

Book Review: Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks
Summary: 5 Stars

While I (as a first-time duck owner of a very healthy young flock) have referred to other resources for bits of information here and there, this is by far the most comprehensive book overall, and one which I refer to over and over again. As my ducks have passed through various stages of development and as I have become more familiar with what being a duck owner entails, I have continued to learn something new every time I've picked up Mr. Holderread's book. It should definitely be included in any duck owner's library.

In addition to positive points mentioned by other reviewers, I'd like to note that the detailed nutritional charts have been of great help.

Summary of Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks: Breeds, Care, Health

For 17 years readers have turned to Storey Books for advice on raising animals. Our Modern Way series of six books has sold more than 1,000,000 copies. In an effort to provide readers with the best how-to animal books on the market we are completely updating all six Modern Way titles and re-introducing them as part of our Guide to Raising series.

Written by experts, these guides give novice and experienced livestock farmers all they need to know to successfully keep and profit from animals. Each book includes information on selection, housing, space requirements, breeding and birthing techniques, feeding, behavior, and health concerns and remedies for illness. The books also address the business of raising animals - processing meat, milk, eggs, and more. The authors were chosen not only for their expertise but also for their ability to explain the ins and outs of animal husbandry in an inviting and authoritative manner. Whether readers are ready to start an entire herd or flock or are considering purchasing their first animal, Storey's Guide to Raising series offers vital information; each book is an indispensable reference.
