The best resource book for folks who keep chickens. Whether you have just five or six or hundreds, this book give no-nonssense information on how to keep your chickens healthy and how to diagnose poultry ailments. One entire section is listed by symptoms, while another is listed by ailment. Very easy to use and understand. WARNING for the squeamish - There is even a section on how to perform your own autopsies.
