This book and this automatic chicken door are my favorite purchases for chickens. The book is superb and very helpful. So nice to have a resource to turn to, when the girls are in need. We recently had a chicken that may have been egg bound or nearly so. Look that up on the internet and you are bombarded with ads on so called chicken sites. What is up with that? With the book you just get pure information. So nice. The Chicken Health HandBook: https://amzn.to/3V1AZWR The chicken door has been flawless and helps out so much and is a time and step saver. We have had the door a bit over one year. Still have not changed the batteries. It has been flawless. Not every purchase goes that way. Chicken door: https://amzn.to/3WRTKi6 I built a coop by hand, using hand tools only, except for a power tool to cut plywood. I used a Japanese saw to make all my cuts. I got so proficient I could cut left handed (I am right handed) standing on one foot and cut the 2x4 perfectly! Saw: https://amzn.to/3x0Xtz7 The right saw really makes a difference. I made hundreds of cuts. We bought a lot of items for chickens, coop and all to make it go. The chicken door was in some ways the crowning glory of convenience. The book is a lifesaver and valuable resource. I hope this review helps… ... show more

    • A Must for Chicken Owners. Great reference tool
Format: Paperback
I have only browsed through this book so far, but it seems really informative and full of useful tips. It's broken down really nicely in sections and has good illustrations. The pages in the book are of a good quality. You can tell the book is well manufactured/printed. It's very easy to look up an issue or problem and be able to reference it fast. The back of the book contains a quick guide to diseases and disorders. There is also a glossary and index to make referencing a breeze. Contents include Keeping Chickens Healthy, Good Nutrition Means Healthy Chickens, The Inner Chicken, Mysteries of Metabolism, What's Bugging Your Birds, When Chickens Get Wormy, Diseases Caused By Protozoa, Conditions Caused by Bacteria, The Fungus Among Us, Deseases Caused by Viruses, Management Issues, Diagnostic Guidelines, What's Going on Inside, Treatments and Therapies, and Your Chickens and Your Health. It's a great all around reference tool, especially when you don't have an avian veterinarian close by. ... show more

    • Great book. Bad packaging.
Format: Paperback
This book is a very thorough overview of chicken health problems and pests. It gives lots of helpful tips on how to identify problems and different approaches to solve them. I'm sure it will be a good resource to have on hand. The packaging was kot so great. It was just an Amazon padded envelope. This book is thick and has some weight to it so the flimsy packaging didn't keep the book from getting damaged is shipping. ... show more

    • Great purchase for any chicken enthusiast
Format: Paperback
Great addition to my library. I’m a vet and purchased a chicken vet textbook that I found to be much less helpful than this book has proven to be. As both the vet to my family’s chickens and also a caring and loving “sister” to them, having medical information in addition to “holistic” (lifestyle, nutrition, enrichment) husbandry information is exactly what I needed to give my hens what they deserve. I also just find it surprisingly entertaining to read, I found myself just reading parts of it on the couch for pleasure instead of consulting it for specific information, so it’s engaging too- I don’t usually just stay entranced by texts such as these. I already recommended it to my enthusiastic chicken-dad-friend from vet school! ... show more
