Excerpt from Blog: For the most part, mother nature can look after itself.* And I’ve learned the hard way over the years that human interference can often cause more harm than good.* Many’s the time I thought I was helping with the birth of one of our ducks and, through a misguided sense to do good, actually caused the death of a hatching duckling rather than save it.

However sometimes you do need to intervene.* If you are a professional farmer of ducks, chances are you already know all the tricks and even have the right equipment to handle things (incubators and what have you).* However if you are a backyard duck farmer like me, you have to rely on your wits and what is to hand.
