Fascinating look at a subject that I know little about. It is a great book for anyone who wants to raise ducks and collect their eggs. A wonderful addition to her other great book, Fresh Eggs Daily.  I am giving this book to my friend who is allergic to chicken eggs.

This is a great book for novice to advanced flocksters, especially if you also garden and care about sustainability and eating food that is good for you. Harvey Ussery is a very entertaining read (I would love to have him as a neighbor) and extremely experienced with several species. Instead of saying "This is how to do it." he explains how he approached various problems, what worked and what didn't, and suggests other things to try. He includes "guest columns" from other experienced poultry raisers, big and small, offering their perspectives on particular topics. His advice is suitable for flocks of a few backyard birds to small commercial operations. He has a creative curiosity that leads him to try some unconventional methods of feeding and caring for his flock, and getting them to do a lot of the gardening work for him in the process. His chapters on feeding and formulating feeds are most valuable, giving you permission to break your bondage to factory formulated feeds. This book should be required reading for every poultry owner, and a lot of gardeners, too.

This book is full of great stuff... faith, family, food, and ducks!

Content-wise, this book deserved a five star review, but writing-wise, it only deserved four stars. I know a writer was employed to compose the book on behalf of the duck ladies, but she was sadly not that great.

I'm excited to read Phil and Jase's books now!

What a wonderful book!!!  So far, I'm in the "wannabe" category and planning for the not-too-distant future. In short, I knew nothing about chickens. This book is funny, well-written, and chocked full of great information. He takes the fear factor out of raising chickens and other fowl. I'm sure when I do get chicks, I'll end up with some other books but this one will be my go-to book.  Something like raising chickens is a hands-on learning adventure but I'm much more comfortable about embarking on that journey now that I've read this book. I'm planning on re-reading it prior to getting any chicks.

This book is one of the best books about drawing and painting birds on the market.  I like the artist's style and the book is full of extremely useful tips on accurate observation and both drawing and painting techniques.  It was recommended to me by master wildlife painter Katie Lee.  Thanks, Katie!  I would recommend this book to amateur and professional painters alike.  It is a real treasure.  I love it!

If you're into cooking duck and goose this is a great book. I've been smoking ducks for a few years with great results prior to purchasing this book and have found it useful for perfecting my recipe. I used this as guidance while smoking a goose and it turned out amazing. My favorite thing about this book are all of the recipes that can get you out of the same old smoked or roasted duck routine.

This book is great for a quick initial ID on a duck or other waterfowl that you're not quite sure about.

I've followed the Robertson family ever since I saw my first duck commander vhs tape at a local Wal Mart. I learned alot of what I know today about duck hunting from watching Phil and Jase down through the years. The book is a great read, the first book I ever recall reading in a day. They are a close knit family that has been succesfull by  hard work, the American way (or used to be...now everybody wants a hand out). Highly recommend!!!

This book is WONDERFUL!! I took this to the local nursery so I could buy the right flowers, I noticed folks were looking over my shoulder. It's a great book for ALL your birds, butterflies and just remodeling your yard.

Each topic is condensed on one page, just the facts and photos. Each topic has a photo of some sort to help you understand the reading. There were topics that I would not have even looked up, but now I am glad I know more about it!!! The book is in A-Z format and doesn't used alot of

"tech. terms" I don't understand, and that's great!!! It has receipes on making birds treats and some really great ideas on how to even tame a few wildlife birds and such!  A MUST FOR ALL NATURE LOVERS!!!  JT

Hi, I've read this book to the littler folks and to myself. It is a great book both to read and look at, with some easy and some challenging pages. The up-beat and fun drawings have surprising detail and vibrant color. I  also love to laid-back farm theme. I recommend this book to anyone with  curious kids.

I am a sucker for Doreen Cronin's books. I love Duck. This is just a really cute book and full of fun. It also teaches a bit of a lesson to young folks, too. Be very careful for what you want because if you get it, you might not really want it. The illustrations are great and the Duck is just wonderful. This series is one of my all time favorites.

A very good book.  I just started watching Duck Dynasty which the show is very entertaining for me.  I got this book because I wanted to learn more about how the Duck Commander started.

The layout of the recipes in this book are easy to read & written in a very user friendly manner.  A very nice choice of recipes to make with Duck. I miss the fact that I can't see a picture of the finished item on my Kindle Copy.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who loves to watch the birds in her yard. It covers so much so well. I think she is going to love it and find it very helpful. Just looking through it I thought it was a great book. Full of interesting information.

This book was listed by someone who began a hobby farm as the best book she bought on the garden in general and for self sustaining wannabees...so I took a risk and I found it to be great! I live in an area with a short growing season (Pacific NW) and found many great ideas that are very applicable to me. This guy makes a lot of sense and makes it very easy, in fact you can decide how "deep" you want to take his ideas. So if you want to employ some of his methods, you can do that with ease, or if you want to go all out, and have a huge garden like he does. Anyway, I thought this was great for me, a beginner home gardener. This book got me very excited about a whole bunch of new things I never thought about, including things you do in the fall/winter & early spring that contribute to the health of your garden. Anyway, I highly recommend this book and thought it was worth it for sure.
