Excerpt from Ducks, Geese and TurkeysThe duck business possesses many features specially to recommend it to farmers and smallholders. One is that it can be successfully conducted on a very small area. There are thousands of men and women in Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire the home of the duck industry-who-'every season rear and market upwards of two thousand birds upon considerably less than an acre of land. One man, whom I know, a few seasons ago reared and marketed over three thousand birds on just over half an acre.Another great advantage of this trade is the fact that the overturn of capital is so very rapid. From the time the egg is laid until the duckling is ready for market - I am referring now to the early duckling trade and not to the rearing of stock birds, which is another matter-should not exceed three months. This rapid overturn of capital is a most important point to those whose funds are strictly limited.Another Obvious advantage of the early duckling trade is that there is always such an excellent demand for the birds and prices range so very high.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
