Ducks and Geese

This handbook offers a straightforward look at raising ducks and geese, combining the rigor of commercial production with tips for the modest farmstead. Readers will find clear explanations of everything from hatchery setup to daily care, aimed at anyone who wants to turn waterfowl into a reliable source of income.

The authors base most of the commercial advice on the operations of a successful Long Island duck farm, presenting a single, well‑documented system rather than a confusing array of competing methods. At the same time, a dedicated chapter translates those techniques for smaller flocks, showing how the same principles can be scaled down for family farms.

What sets the book apart are its extensive, high‑quality illustrations that walk the reader through housing designs, feeding equipment, and the subtle differences among breeds. With these visual guides, even novice growers can grasp the nuances of breed selection, breeding cycles, and day‑to‑day management.
