Title: The Impractical Guide to Raising Ducks: How to joyously produce the world’s most expensive eggs from the world’s most adorable animals
Description: Want to raise healthier, longer-lived ducks that don’t require lots of vet care — even if they produce fewer eggs per year? For most pet and backyard duck keepers, the answer to that question is YES! If you feel the same way, this book is for you.
The Impractical Guide to Keeping Pet & Backyard Ducks isn’t just a detailed how-to guide for raising happy, healthy, long-lived ducks. It’s also a humorous and heartfelt rethink on how and why backyard poultry enthusiasts should raise ducks in the first place — and a call to action to do it better, for the sake of people, poultry, and planet.
Their “impractical” duck keeping approach is based on their own real-world experience, combined with advice from their network of top avian vets, waterfowl rescue operators, and other expert duck keepers.
