Ducks often take a backseat to the more popular chickens available to today’s hobby farmer, but they have a lot going for them and shouldn’t be discounted. Their eggs and meat are delicious and prized in some parts of the world, and they are just as easy to care for with the right setup.
If you are interested in keeping ducks as a food source, or just plan on having a few of these beautiful birds as pets, this magazine is a great place to start. The first step is to select what breeds interest you. Read about the most popular (page 18) to the unusual (page 24) and select the one right for your needs.
