The Chicken Health Handbook

Description:

Discusses the different illnesses which can attack chickens, describing their causes, symptoms, and treatments

From

The editor of Rural Heritage has written a first-rate guide for the small producer interested in healthful meat and eggs as well as the exotic breed fancier raising birds for show. Having published a number of general guides to backyard poultry, including one for children, Damerow here concentrates on everything that can go wrong: diseases; problems associated with keeping birds in close quarters or caging them; litter; cannibalism; vitamin deficiency, resulting in poor molting; incubators that are too hot or too cold; predators; and the invasions of rats. She stresses that the best preventative measures involve protecting one's flock against outside influences (such as wild birds or other chickens), careful culling, and balanced nutrition. Damerow is a good writer, carefully walking the line between insulting the reader's intelligence, a flaw with many books of this sort, and giving more technical information than growers need. Her discussion of how one keeps straight which chick came from which mating--which involves the injection of food dyes into fertilized eggs, and carefully marking the webbings of feet--is downright ingenious.

Review

"...a first-rate guide for the small producer interested in healthful meat and eggs as well as the exotic breed fancier..." -- American Library Association

From the Back Cover

This must-have reference for the small flock owner covers the problems and diseases common to chickens of all breeds and all ages. Generously illustrated, The Chicken Health Handbook teaches you how to:

* hatch healthy chicks

* provide proper nutrition

* fight parasites

* spot diseases and infections in their early stages

* protect flocks from predators

* build safe houses and yards

Practical charts in The Chicken Health Handbook help pinpoint common symptoms and causes of disease. An extensive alphabetic listing of diseases provides quick access to treatments and remedies for everything from poor egg production to crooked toe syndrome.

About the Author

Author Gail Damerow lives in Gainesboro, Tennessee, and operates a small-scale farm raising chickens and other farm animals. She has raised chickens since 1970 when she bought her first home, which "came with chickens." Gail has been a creative writing instructor at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville since 1988. She is the editor of Rural Heritage magazine, a monthly columnist for Dairy Goat Journal, and the author of several Storey titles for adults and children alike which include Your Chickens, Fences for Pasture & Garden, and The Perfect Pumpkin. She has been published in many periodicals, including Acres U.S.A., Backyard Poultry, and Dairy Goat Journal as well.

Gail's book for adults, The Chicken Health Handbook, is considered "Flawless" by Booklist (April 1994). Likewise, Ron Macher from Small Farm Today magazine has said of Gail's A Guide to Raising Chickens: "If you want to raise chickens, you can go out and buy A Guide to Raising Chickens and have it all. This is the best single book on chicken raising I have seen -- it has solid practical advice, good 'how-to' tips, and covers everything. Buy this book."
