Since we're city people we can't have chickens where we live. We're 'part-timers' at my mother-in-law's farm out in the country every weekend. That's why I'm so glad I had the chance to preview this book on chicken illnesses and diseases. I don't feel like I'm there often enough to be an expert and this makes me feel like one. I've got a 24 hour live chicken cam that we watch sometimes (dreaming of our retirement where we can see them every day) and we've been able to use that to get to know the chickens better. Earlier this week I was able to spot a hen acting funny and based on this I suspected it was a cold and it was. My mother-in-law has been giving her garlic and greens and things all week and I think that chicken is going to be OK. I also love the reading recommendations included at the end. This guide is a jumping point to becoming an expert and it gives you all the tools you need to do just that. Thanks again, John!
