 Chicken Health Handbook June 24, 2010
Rochelle Crone (Puyallup, Wa USA)
The best book I could have gotten for a person who is just learning or for someone who has more experience with raising chickens. I am raising three right now, only for enjoyment and an egg or two if they choose to lay any. Easy to understand information.

This book is very informative. It tells all about chicken health and nutrition, anatomy, internal and external parasites, infectious diseases, environmrnt related problems, it gives diagnostic guides, postmortem explainations, therapy, enhancing immunity, incubation and brooding, chickens and human health, diseases and disorders and much more! Very excellent book that all chicken fanciers should have.
 Fairly comprehensive. June 8, 2010
Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author)
Having invested a lot of good money in a large flock of over 500 chickens, I was at pains to see that every aspect of their welfare, care and diet was of the best possible quality. I must have been doing something right because my eggs quickly became much sought after. As with all new ventures, however, the honeymoon ended just as soon noticed one of my birds was unwell.
With replacing any sick bird being a far cheaper option than vets bills, it soon became a question of either culling or curing. This book is fairly comprehensive when it comes to poultry health and has proved to be one of the best books on the subject I was able to find. Subjects range from Diet, anatomy, health, parasites, diseases, environment, rats, incubation, brooding and so forth. As I say, fairly comprehensive.
It is very difficult to read a book of this type from cover to cover - although there are sections which should be read and understood by all poultry keepers. Readers will, however, be consulting this book in the hope of finding an answer to something specific. It is important, therefore, to find the symptoms displayed by a sick bird adequately described so that the reader is able to identify the problem and be certain that his diagnosis is correct. Generally speaking, I did find the information to be there, but finding that description of a specific illness, disease or whatever was the hardest part. This can become frustrating - especially when you want to get on and find the correct remedy.
In short, I would suggest this is a very good book. I believe it really does contain the answers to the many and varied questions people will have about the health of their birds but finding that answer did prove to be very difficult at times.
I would, therefore, suggest the serious keeper studies this book over a period of time in order to form a solid appreciation of everything concerned with the health of their Chickens.

I've had pet chickens for years, but got this book from the library to update my knowledge for a backyard chicken class I was teaching. I thought the book was so well done that I bought a copy. I'm hoping that I don't need to use all the information on chicken pests and disease, but I'll have it in my library if I do. I recommended this book to the class I taught and I recommend it to you.
