Excellent reference book, 2008-07-26
This is an easy to understand reference book for anyone who
is raising chickens. Covers many chicken ailments as well
as how to keep them healthy and even hatching suggestions.
This book is a must for anyone who has chickens or
wants to begin raising chickens.

Hoped for more user-friendly information, 2008-07-25
Although there is no doubt that the author is very knowledgeable on her subject, I found the book not very user friendly.

It was purchased with the intent of having a guide to go to when I had health issues with my chickens. There is much information that is technical and unless one wants to study it and try to commit information to memory, it is not a quick reference guide in emergencies.

I also found that many of the medications recommended for treatment of a problem I took time to diagnose, were unavailable; thus rendering the information useless at the time I needed it the most.

Although disappointed, I am unaware of any other current options for chicken health books; I give it a three star rating due to the vast knowledge given.
