The Chicken Health Handbook

Very informative book. This book is very helpful. It would be good for a novice or to add to an experienced poultryman's library. I would recommend.

This is one that I've referred to over and over since I've gotten my chickens. Especially, since my sweet and gentle rooster suddenly died. I liked that it gave instructions on how to save the body for postmortem exam by a state/college agency. Covers a TON of chicken health issues with really good syptom charts, etc.

One thing I would've liked to seen added to this book is perhaps a more complete homeopathic remedy section like what to feed chicks on an emergency basis if the chicken won't eat.

Overall, this is one book that I would suggest EVERY chicken owner should get. If you don't refer to it right away, you will!
