Add a CommentThis is my favourite duck book. Dave totally sold me on Ducks. In this book he covers everything you could possibly want to know about ducks and makes them sound just perfect! He does give you the down-side and also goes into how HE does it on his farm. The resources are almost all for the US though so that part is not so helpful.
