They make wonderful and rewarding pets, and come in all shapes, sizes and colours, providing delicious eggs which are high in protein and are ideal for baking superior cakes. Geese make handy lawn mowers and ducks are perfect for vegetable and allotment gardeners as they love to feast on insects and other pests. With so much versatility, the desire to rear ducks and geese has never been greater. The book begins with a fascinating brief history of domesticated waterfowl, and then moves onto first considerations before purchasing your ducks or geese, such as goose and duck anatomy and behavior. There is a detailed section on all of the 40 common breeds of duck and goose, enabling you to make the right decision about which ones to choose. The book features extensive information on planning and welfare, helping you to ensure that you have the right type of space and housing, along with important feeding information. There are also guidelines on how to deal with any eventuality, such as telling the neighbors, going away on holiday and cleaning. Useful for anyone considering breeding from their waterfowl, there is advice on egg production, egg incubation and hatching, as well as a whole section on rearing. A lavish lifestyle chapter provides recipes for using the rich eggs, along with fun activities for all of the family including quill making and decorating eggs. Keeping Ducks and Geese fuses contemporary lifestyle design and an authoritative text, to appeal not only to those who already keep waterfowl, but also to those who are thinking of having them or even just aspire to the self-sufficient lifestyle that they represent. Review: Great Book - This book, "keeping Ducks and Geese" is VERY informative ! The book has many beautiful pictures and important information on all the different breeds of ducks and geese. The book answered some of the questions we had about feather changes we saw in our ducks. We have shared information from this book with others that bought geese and ducks but didn't know that much about them. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know about ducks and geeses. The writer/producer of this book did a wonderful job putting it together ! Review: Good book! - This Spring I have added a couple baby ducks to my small flock of chickens. Since I really hadn't a clue about what to do after I brought them home, I found this book. Its informative without being over wordy. Gets to the point and gives just the right amount of basic information needed to take care of these cuties. Love the illustrations and the fact that they tell you what breed the picture is of.

Great book for a newbie starting with ducks and geese. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, basic info *by C***E on May 16, 2012* This book was very worth the $5.00 or so that I spent on it. Originally, I bought it for my 4th grader to use for her science fair project. The info is very basic, but it's a good starting point for waterfowl beginners (adults and older kids). I enjoyed the info on the various breeds (not a comprhensive list, but decent) and the photos that went with it. Overall, I nicely put together book for the low price. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/3919368-keeping-ducks-and-geese](https://www.desertcart.at/products/3919368-keeping-ducks-and-geese) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
