In Ducks for Starters, Bruce Wicking both entertains and informs us in the down-to-earth style reminiscent of his earlier books about teaching. From hatching ducklings to bad smells, Bruce Wicking gives sound advice with characteristic enthusiasm.Ducks for Starters was first published in 1990 and is not only a delight to read, it is a most worthwhile companion for anyone thinking of keeping a small flock of ducks, be they for eggs, meat, as pest exterminators or just for pets. This is an ideal gift for someone who has enjoyed keeping livestock or are otherwise interested in living sustainably.
