Most domesticated ducks are descended from the wild mallard and over the centuries many different breeds have been created. They have been kept as pets, or for their ornamental value, or have been farmed for their meat, eggs and down. In The Domestic Duck Chris and Mike Ashton explain how these breeds have been developed and how to look after them.

The Domestic Duck is a highly acclaimed, comprehensive book for breeders, keepers and exhibitors.  It is fully illustrated with photographs and diagrams depicting examples of the pure breeds and all aspects of their management.

This is a complete guide book to the many ducks and geese kept by poultry fanciers, smallholders and farmers. It covers breeds, accommodation, ponds, breeding, showing, ducklings for the table and many more aspects of this special division of poultry-keeping.

There is a section on the fables associated with geese, and illustrations of the breeds of ducks and geese in black and white to demonstrate show requirements, as well as colour.

The usefulness of the various breeds is also covered. Many people simply do not appreciate that many ducks are the best layers in all types of poultry, and geese, which graze on grass for food, make excellent table birds with a splendid, gourmet flavour.
