If you had to pick ONE book out of your library of poultry/animal books - which would it be?

Also if you are a goose person - what is THE goose book you'd recommend the most?

Choose one book... I'll have to think on that.

I am not a goose person but my vote would be for "Modern Waterfowl Management and Breeding Guide" by Oscar Grow. A true waterfowl expert.

THANKS Fowler Very Happy I'll find it online and get it.

I thought everyone would have a 'favorite' they refer to over & over, but maybe picking only one is too hard! Surprised

I have the Storey's books - How to Raise (Chickens, Ducks, Rabbits etc) and find them excellent, but they don't have a geese one and although they do have a How to Raise Poultry book coming out in a couple weeks that covers a bit of everything, I think if you already have the individual books that it would likely be more basic &/or re-cover the basic info only. I assume a fair bit of the care of the geese will be similar to ducks, but not exactly the same and different diseases/problems?!?!?!

Crawford's Poultry Breeding and Genetics.
Everything else I've wanted to know I've found through mildly creative web-searching.
