Wild Ducks: How to Rear and Shoot Them

A practical manual offering step-by-step guidance for rearing wild ducks and preparing them for shooting. It covers site selection with emphasis on lakes and flowing water, choosing breeding stock, nesting, incubation, and early chick care; feeding regimens and transition from mash to corn; prevention and treatment of common health problems such as dirtying and eye infections; housing, runs and shelter, predator avoidance, and methods for introducing birds to water. Later chapters address shooting techniques and management of released flocks, all focused on economical, hands-on practices for small-scale keepers.
