Ducks & Geese

Describing the techniques he employs in the management of his own collection of domestic waterfowl, Tom Bartlett shows how easy and enjoyable it can be to keep ducks and geese successfully. He covers the difficulties involved in breeding the perfect show specimen, and comments on the wide range of breeds he has kept. Illustrated throughout with many pictures of his own birds and with sections on fencing and equipment, incubation and rearing, routine management, showing, handling, sexing and sickness, this is a thoroughly practical book for keepers of ducks and geese. AUTHOR: Tom Bartlett runs his own farm in the Cotswolds and has probably the largest collection of wildfowl in the country. He has won many top awards and is editor of the journal of the British Waterfowl Association. 67 diagrams
