Great resource for basic issues Though I've had chickens for several years now, I haven't found a good resource I can turn to quickly for help when I have a problem. Until now. This book is easy to read and sticks to the basics (I'm not a vet, and I don't need a vet manual that I can't understand anyway). One thing I really appreciate is the list of symptoms in the back as a quick reference to possible ailments. When I recently had an issue with one of my hens, I was a. Highly recommend. A. Hunter Great book for anyone with chickens. We lost 2 (which were pets first, eggs second) due to NOT recognizing their symptoms ahead of time.

This small handbook explains all of the common ailments seen in chickens in easy-to-understand terms, including their symptoms, prevention, and treatment. The chicken is a hardy animal, but when something does go wrong, the costs of treatment can be ruinously expensive. Most veterinarians do not treat poultry, and those that do charge far more than a single chicken is worth
