Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2005 | Series: Barron's Pet Handbooks

Ducks can either be kept as pets or raised as farm animals. Duck owners will find all the facts they need on housing, feeding, health care, and more. Barron's Pet Handbooks can be thought of as extra-large versions of our popular Pet Owner's Manuals series. The Handbooks have larger page counts, more color photos, and contain even more information on pet care than the Manuals. Written by breeders, veterinarians, and other pet care experts, they describe their title-animal's traits and present advice on feeding, health maintenance, and all other important aspects of animal care.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Duck Handbook (Barron's Pet Handbooks) (Paperback)

We were looking for a book on raising ducks. We checked other sites but they didn't have what we were looking for, so we decided to go to Amazon. They had the book we were looking for and at a reasonable price. The book was informative. It arrived sooner than we thought it was going to. We like dealing with Amazon. Hats off to Amazon.
