Opis

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This book contains a detailed guide to keeping ducks, with information on breeding, diet, ailments, housing, and much more. Containing all the information a prospective or existing duck-keeper needs to know, this text constitutes an invaluable guide for anyone with an interest in the subject. It is not to be missed by collectors of poultry-keeping literature. The chapters of this text include: Advantages of Keeping Ducks, Making a Start, Breeds and Varieties, Housing Adult Stock, Foods and Feeding, The Water Supply, Selecting Breeding Stock, Trap-Nesting, Egg Collection and Incubation, Rearing Methods, Marking and Ringing, Distinguishing the Sexes, etcetera. We are proud to republish this book, now complete with a new introduction on poultry farming.
