More than a guide to chicken health, this book is a call to deliberate thought and informed chicken care decision-making, concisely providing the tools necessary in chapters that read like a novel. Ms. Damerow provides a refreshing reality check on many of the feel-good sound bites regarding holistic/natural/herbal approaches to chicken keeping that abound on chicken related blogs and books in recent years. Damerow writes, "Instructions found online and in print publications describing herbal medicine for backyard chickens suggest that such-and-such herb "is said to" work for a certain disease, or that you "try" such-and-such herb as a treatment- which sounds suspiciously like experimenting at the expense of an ailing chicken." We therefore limit alternative livestock therapies to their use as immunity enhancers.”. The Chicken Health Handbook, 2nd Edition is an indispensable resource for every chicken keeper."
"This was recommended by my vet!"
"Great book."
"This book is very comprehensive, but still easy to read."
"Great book, Wealth of information, must have book for any chicken keeper."
"Very useful book to have at hand if you've got chickens."
"This was a gift for someone new to chickens."
"An excellent Reference Book of Poultry Health care and How Too Book by Gail Damerow."
