Have you considered adding ducks or geese to your farm or homestead? This course covers the basics of keeping waterfowl. We'll talk about the good, the bad, the feathered, and... well ... the foul about raising birds who love the water.

This course consists of two live classes and two video lessons showcasing my real-life farm, wherein learners will meet some ducks and geese, as well as watch behaviors and see how the birds live and play in a free-range environment. The first half centers around ducks, and the second half focuses on geese. Learners may interact with the teacher by completing and posting (optional) homework responses to the classroom. Videos are available via Google Drive link in the live classroom between live class lessons.

Topics covered in this class include:

• Incubation and hatching
• Brooding
• Raising ducklings and goslings
• Introducing birds to the flock
• Bird terminology
• Determining sex
• Mating behavior
• Diet and health
• Predators
