"Twenty years ago, I got my first hen and turned to The Chicken
Health Handbook for answers. Today, Damerow's work continues to
provide sound counsel. This new edition -- based in solid science,
detailed and comprehensive -- is an accessible and practical guide
for anyone who has chickens."
-- Terry Golson, founder, HenCam.com
"A wonderful reference book filled with practical advice that any
new or experienced flock owner will find beneficial."
-- Dr. Susan Watkins, Professor of Poultry Science, University of
Arkansas
"A must-have book for all chicken lovers."

"An outstanding book that needs to be in every poultry raiser's
library. Accurate, valuable information that can be read with
ease."
-- Glenn Drowns, author of Storey's Guide to Raising Poultry
"When it comes to questions on chicken health, this is the book I
turn to for quick reference. We have one on every desk at
Stromberg's and recommend it to everyone from beginners to longtime
fanciers. The extensive pictures, illustrations, and explanations
in the new edition should make it required reading for anyone
interested in keeping a strong flock."
-- Eric Stromberg, Stromberg's Chicks and Game Birds Unlimited
"Widely regarded as the Patron Saint of Poultry since her 1994
edition became the chicken keeper's bible, Gail Damerow has kept
her finger on the pulse of chicken management innovations,
advances, and trends, bringing us this completely recalibrated,
modernized Chicken Health Handbook. More than a guide to chicken
health, this book is a call to deliberate thought and informed
decision-making, concisely providing the tools necessary in
chapters that read like a novel. "Packed with pragmatic information
that embraces a holistic model of wellness, this book offers
trouble-shooting tools and a panoply of real-world solutions based
in solid science. It should be standard issue with every chick
purchased." -- Kathy Shea Mormino, The Chicken Chick(R)
