This is an excellent book!!,
I have 30 bantam chickens, and I turn to this book all the time whenever I have a proplem. I highly recomend it for anyone that is or is going to raise chickens. Whenever you have a problem you just turn to the diognoses charts, match the symptoms and the age, and find out what it is. You then go the back and find the disease, and then it tells you how to treat it, prevent it, if there’s any human health risk and much MUCH more!! It also tell you EVERYTHING else you need to know on how to raise them. I VERY highly recomend this book as well as Storys Guide To Raising Chickens by Gail Dammerow as well.

A Handy Reference for All Poultry Breeders,
I first came across this book from my local library in Australia. I was very impressed that firstly a woman had written the book, (since it appears that Poultry Breeding/Exhibiting seems to be a very male interest here!) and secondly that she had done a great job.
There are lots of practical ideas and simple methods of diagnosing and treating diseases all in laymans lingo. Which drugs will work on particular diseases and warnings about using the drugs. Particularly helpful was the reference of each disease and other diseases which might have the same symptoms. Since reading this book, I have seen it recommended many times by other chook breeders on http://www.the-coop.org message board.
I was concerned that this might be written for “Americans only” but there are actually references to Australia and most of the diseases and treatments apply here also. Unfortunately, when I went to purchase this book from my local book store, I was told that it was unavailable in Australia and my library must have purchased a joblot of books from America to originally have it to loan.
Thanks to Amazon books, I will now own a copy of this book which I am sure will be read again and again.

An excellent resource for any poultry owner…,
This is the first book I turn to when I have a question regarding the health of my chickens. I breed purebred bantams and large fowl, (as well as ducks, guineas, and geese.) Damerow’s book has just about everything you need to know when it comes to keeping your birds healthy, or dealing with it when they’re sick.
Her chapters include:
– Chicken Health
– Health and Nutrition
– Anatomy of a Chicken
– External Parasites
– Internal Parasites: Worms
– Internal Parasites: Protozoa
– Infectious Diseases
– Environment Related Problems
– Diagnostic Guides
– Postmortem Examination
– Therapy
– Enhancing Immunity
– Incubation and Brooding
– Chickens and Human Health
– Diseases and Disorders
She also includes a glossary, a list of suppliers, state poultry laboratories, and a list of recommended reading material.
If you own chickens, and care about their health, you owe it to yourself and them to get this book. Don’t hesitate, buy it!
