An excellent book that can help the novice (or prospective) Duck Keeper get started right. It also offer a tremendous amount of informationa and insights for the experienced keeper. The author combines a rare knowledge of the subject with an excellent ability to share and a wonderful writing style. If you keep, or plan to keep ducks, this should be in your library. The New Edition has been retitled 'Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks: Breeds, Care, Health' by the publisher and includes updated information and a new section on color genetics of ducks.
The Best Guide for amateur(or experienced) duck raisers!!!

Holderread's book is extremely helpful in giving you all the information necessary to raise ducks. The book gives info on why to raise, features, behavior, breeds, hybrids, colors, acquiring stock, incubation, rearing ducklings, managing adults, feeds, butchering, health and physical problems, and duck shows. It also gives recipes, ways to use feathers, and sources for ducks, equipment, feed, etc. He gives stories from his childhood duck experiences, too.Being a complete beginner, I bought this book along with ten mallard ducklings July 2001. They are now completely grown, healthy, pretty, happy, friendly, etc! They are laying eggs and hatching them now, too. Each has it's own distinct personality. One's even a lap duck!I really recommend ducks as pets, livestock, or decoration. If you have the time and money, you should buy your own little flock. They will be so much fun, and with this book, you'll keep them happy.
This book has it all.

I have read this book so many times now, I may need a new copy. I decided to get ducks to raise, but first read this book,suggested to me by online poultry news group folks.I have had no difficulties raising ducks now because I followed all the advice from Dave's book.I had never raised poultry of my own before. And after having ducks, I also went the next step and ordered live adult rare ducks from this author,who also owns a duck preservation center. Beautiful,magnificent ducks ! 'Raising the Home Duck Flock' is truly the "Duck Owner's Bible".
Excelently written, a real help when it comes to my ducks.
