5.0 out of 5 stars A must for every chicken owner, just hope you don't need it!, 25 April 2001

By A Customer

I have just got my copy...... Had a quick look through and now I am almost scared to open it again.....

I didn't realise that chickens got so many illnesses!

I am very impressed.

There is a bit about each disease, what it looks like and how to treat it. There are some very useful sections in the middle for you to determine what sort of illness your chicken might have. These sections are divided into, for example,Diseases Causing Sores in the Mouth; Diseases Causing Breathing Difficulties; Diseases involving movement etc..etc.. so that if you get the six or so diseases which involve movement you can look to see which it is that your chicken has and if possible get treatment quickly.

There is a section involving post mortems at the back which is just too scary at the moment, but I will get to it.

It's definitely one for the bookshelf, there if you need it but hopefully you won't.

2.0 out of 5 stars Limited value to me, 9 Jan 2004

By	Martin Webster "martinw787" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The actual contents of the book I have found to be of limited use and not very practiculy set out. I have a flock of about 50 exotic breed chickens which are not only valuabe but also my pets. When I have had problems I have not once found the answers in the book in fact it does not seem to have any answers to anything. In all fairness I do not live in the US and I am not familiar with the laws on vetinary practices, however, there is not a single treatment for any diseases given in this book. I would have thought it would have been a better book if the diseases were grouped more sensibly and some treatments were given. I`m sure it is an interesting book to read but as an instrument for managing chickens I, personaly, am not impressed. Sorry.
