Customer Reviews:
• Hoped For More User-friendly Information 25 July, 2008
Although there is no doubt that the author is very knowledgeable on her subject, I found the book not very user friendly.
It was purchased with the intent of having a guide to go to when I had health issues with my chickens. There is much information that is technical and unless one wants to study it and try to commit information to memory, it is not a quick reference guide in emergencies.
I also found that many of the medications recommended for treatment of a problem I took time to diagnose, were unavailable; thus rendering the information useless at the time I needed it the most.
Although disappointed, I am unaware of any other current options for chicken health books; I give it a three star rating due to the vast knowledge given.
