Written by hobby farmer Cherie Langlois from Washington state, Ducks is a fantastic overview of these entertaining and adaptable waterfowl. The author begins by asking ?What do these water-crazy birds have that make them as much an asset to farms as landlubbing poultry?” She provides many answers that defend the virtues and versatility of ducks and argues that the duck is superior to the ubiquitous chicken in many ways. As a zoologist, Langlois has a gift for elucidating the details of the waterfowl’s anatomy, traits and behavior, all revealed in the first chapter ?Meet the Duck.” She proceeds by leading readers through the process of choosing the right ducks for their hobby farm, considering the various domestic breeds (from bantams to heavyweights) as well as the sex of the birds and number of birds/breeds ideal for beginning a hobby-farm flock. The book offers advice on housing these very adaptable birds that thrive in various climates and regions throughout the world: space requirements, ventilation, flooring, feeders, and fencing. Naturally, ducks need water to thrive in the form of an existing lake, a manmade pond or simple duck pools, all discussed in the housing chapter. ?The Duck Diet” chapter discusses the nutritional needs of the flock and various feeding options farmers and ranchers can consider. Seasoned duck aficionados interested in getting into the business of ducklings will find much information in the breeding chapter, which catalogs methods for hatching, incubators, mama duck and baby care, and more. The health of livestock is always a major consideration for the hobby farmer, and the chapter ?Flock Health and Handling” offers a mini course in disease prevention, proper hygiene, recognizing symptoms of illnesses, and dealing with common maladies.The advantages of duck farming?the superior quality of duck eggs, down, and meat--are the focal point of the final chapter ?Harvesting the Rewards,” likely the first chapter the dubious duck farmer will read prior to taking the dive into ducks. The book concludes with appendices of endangered duck breeds and duck diseases, resources, a glossary of terms, and a complete index.

Weak pole
Color: Cerulean
I don’t think it’s going to hold up to any windy conditions. Moves even in light breeze. Needs a stronger pole for the 10ft size I believe.

Like Holding a Jet Engine
This WORX WG520 12 Amp Turbine 600 Electric Leaf Blower is an excellent, and powerful product that does as advertised and completely blasts away whatever it's pointed at. I got this product mostly to use as a drying aid when washing my cars, but also to just to clear off the backyard patio and blow out the garage occasionally. For this use-case this product has been absolutely stellar. I 3D printed a smaller nozzle that has a more directed, concentrated flow of air for when I'm using this to dry off my car and it has worked much better than the standard long nozzle, I saw some for sale before deciding to DIY with my own 3D printer, and it was a great way to save some money and make this even more effective at car drying. The power this has at full speed is absolutely incredible, it almost feels like it's about to fly away and I have to really clamp down on gripping it. This isn't for the weak of heart, controlling this without banging it against your car will take some time to get used to especially if you aren't a frequent gym goer. This has worked for everything I've needed to use it for and the price was great as well for this level of performance. It may not be as portable as a cordless blower, but it is certainly far more powerful than any cordless blower I've used in the past. The one thing I'll mention is make sure you have a good heavy duty extension cord to power this, 12 awg would be ideal especially if you're using a longer extension cord, you certainly don't want to burn out the motor by starving this thing of power with a 16 awg cord or something like that. Overall, I'm very impressed by this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an insanely powerful blower, this thing is like holding on to a jet engine. 5/5 stars.
