This special re-print edition of the W. Powell-Owen's book "Duck Keeping Along Money Making Lines" is a complete guide to raising ducks for eggs, meat or exhibition for profit, as well as Geese, Turkeys and Guinea Fowl. Written in 1918, this classic English text on poultry contains the basics of raising ducks and other waterowl and poultry, be it for eggs, for meat purposes or for pleasure. Included are all the basic elements of breed selection, coops and other forms of housing, how to hatch eggs, care of young chicks and much more. The text is specifically written from the standpoint of making money from ducks, geese and turkey raising. Some of the topics covered include All About Ducks, Duck Housing, Hatching Duck Eggs, Rearing Ducklings, Rearing Ducks For Meat, Feeding Ducks, Duck Health, Breeds of Domestic Ducks and much more, along with special sections on Geese, Turkeys and Guinea Fowl. In our opinion, this is one of the best classic books on the subject of keeping ducks and others for profit.

As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
