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 antiquarian volume comprises a comprehensive 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 resource 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: Possibilities of the Duck; For the Backyarder; For the Small Poultry-keeper; As an Adjunct to the General Farm; The Breed of Duck to Keep; How to Make a Start; Hatching, Rearing, Sexing; Housing, Penning, and Trap-Nesting; Feeding; Marketing the Produce; Duck Disorders; etcetera. We are proud to republish this book, now complete with a new introduction on poultry farming.
