Review: 

This is a super random review, but I figured ...why not? So for Christmas my mom sent me a Coop. I have been talking about chickens or ducks for years now and so she helped. Before choosing between the two I wanted to learn more and found this book an Amazon. Is is on the shorter side with about 100 pages, there are minimal images, and most of the information it contains is from someone who has backyard ducks and wanted you to learn from her mistakes. 

The beginning of the book is super daunting if you are excited about ducks, because there is a lot of focus on the mess, the poo, the cleaning... but then soon after talks a lot about the actual ducks and the fun you can have with them. There is a bunch of info on the types/ breeds of ducks that I found super helpful, and I learned a lot about what has worked and what hasnt for this owner and I think it will really help me as I plan to place the Coop in the spring.   I now have a wonderful to do, to research list as well, and it provides great links too.

Overall, if you are looking for more info on duck raising, and need some convincing or unconvinving... this  is a great read.
