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".

Before I had to move into the city, I raised Muscovy ducks as a hobby. This book is indispensible and very well written. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to raise waterfowl for fun or profit. I'll definitely be pulling it off the bookshelf again when I'm in a place where I can resume raising them!

This book is extremely well written and easy to understand. A must for anyone that raises and owns ducks. This book has it all, plenty of B/W photos, charts, and information. Buy this book and you will be thankful...not disappointed.

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.

One of the best books there is on raising ducks. It told me how muck food to give my ducks and what their behaviour signs meant. I definately recomend this book!!

I use several Ducks in my act and stumbled into the world of Waterfowl without prior knowledge. This book provides everything you need to know to raise, breed, feed, and handle with care these precious creatures. If there is one book to have for owning ducks this is the one!
The author is no "quack" and really knows his stuff!

This book tells you everything you need to know about raising ducks. I've had a small flock of ducks for six years now, and this book has been very useful.

Unlike most of the other livestock books I've read, it is well written, and holds your interest. I sometimes actually reread this book for fun, even when I'm not looking for any specific information.
