  Keeping Ducks: Beautiful Comical things by Tom Bartlett

If you are starting with duck keeping, or just interested in ducks, this DVD by Tom Bartlett is well worth watching. For many, Tom will always be the guru of the duck world.
"There is something about ducks that attracts human company," says Tom Bartlett in this beginner’s guide to duck-keeping.
Tom follows the journey of ducklings from incubation through their lives as he explains his own methods of feeding, housing, breeding and generally caring for ducks on the farm and at show. We meet Ross Kent, a beginner whose ambition is to breed quality birds, and with Tom’s guidance Ross prepares for the British Waterfowl Championship.
This is the perfect way to get a thorough grounding in duck keeping, choosing a breed that appeals to you and enjoying some typical duck behaviour at his former home at Folly Farm, Gloucestershire in the company of the former President of the British Waterfowl Association.

The programme explains fully the requirements for duck ponds and how to keep ducks in an ordinary garden.
Incubation, hatching and chick rearing are clearly demonstrated in the programme.
