This is a great book full of all the things you need to know to make informed decisions about your chickens. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that wants chickens or anyone that already has them and wants sound, proven, factual information about health and care problems.

Having been invited by the author to provide an advance endorsement for the back cover of The Chicken Health Handbook, 2nd Edition, it was my honor to do so. For weeks I pored over my galley copy cover to cover, enjoying the completely new format, extraordinary illustrations and fresh content. This book is so much more than merely the 1994 Chicken Health Handbook with a fresh coat of paint; this version is a wholly transformed version worthy of its own distinguishing title.
