Fresh Eggs Daily Debuts on HGTV Gardens with a Five-Part Series on Raising Ducks

in - 27 comments

I am excited to announce the debut of a five-part series on raising backyard ducks that I am writing for HGTV Gardens! I was invited to be a guest writer and was thrilled to accept.  The premise of the series is 'Ducks are the New Chickens', in response to the growing interest in raising backyard ducks.


I am so honored to be a part of the HGTV Gardens guest writer team.  They have a beautiful new website and blog, so head over and read my articles....then stay and browse for awhile. The article in the 5-part series include:

Part One: Ten Reason Why Ducks Might be a Better Choice for your Backyard Flock
Part Two: A Primer on Duck Housing, Diet and Health
Part Three: Six Popular Duck Breeds
Part Four: Landscaping for Ducks
Part Five: Raising Ducklings

Update: I've been contracted to write several more ducks articles for HGTVGardens.com and also put together a few photo albums for their site.

Check out all my articles over at HGTV.com HERE

    Congratulations! We have chickens, but I have never even considered having ducks. But after reading your article, I think it might be a good option for us.

      Oh, you should think about adding some. Follow along with the rest of my series, it should provide alot more information and answer other questions you may have. The ducks are great.

      Funny, I actually think the bathtub is the BEST place to brood ducks. It contains their water mess SO well!

    The link to the last article, on raising ducklings, isn't working. Maybe you can find a fix?
