Customer Reviews

Appalling in its lack of information
I was very disappointed to find that this book was far less useful than talking over the neighbours fence about poultry. Besides a lack of information of value, I found the level of the book's wording and presentation style to be so far short of inadequate as to be unpleasant to read in its conversational tone and "country hick" manner. I would highly recommend that this book be avoided by anyone with more than a vague passing interest in what ducks and geese are, let alone anyone who is thinking of breeding them.

Great Book for the Beginner
First, this is not a book, it is a Bulletin published by the Storey Company. The same company that publishes the "Storey's Guide to Raising ..." If you want an indepth book on Raising Ducks and Geese, don't buy this book. However, if you need a bulletin covering the basic aspects of raising ducks and geese, then here it is. Great for beginners and young one people interested in the duck fancy.

Great beginner's guide
This bulletin covers all the basics for the beginner such as Raising Ducks -- The Kinds of Ducks -- Shelters -- Sanitation -- Waters -- Feed -- Starting your Ducks -- Brooding the Duckling -- Slaughtering and Dressing Ducks -- Raising Geese -- Breeds of Geese -- Feed, Water, and Shelter Needs -- Goslings -- Sanitation -- Sexing and Culling Geese -- Slaughter and Dressing -- Goose for Dinner -- Your Own Pond for Ducks or Geese -- Wild Visitors -- Special Breeds. Great for 4-H students too.
