This is a field guide built the way a flock owner actually works: from the symptom forward. You look up what you can see, you follow a short decision block, and you come out with a specific next step, including the one step that matters most, which is knowing when to stop and call someone.
Inside:
- Seven symptom chapters with seventy-four decision blocks covering breathing and the head, droppings and the crop, skin, comb, feathers and feet, eggs, posture and movement, sudden death, and the first sixteen weeks of a chick's life
- Every block in the same shape: what you see, what else to check, what it most likely is, what to do now, and when to stop and call
- 51 plain-English condition profiles of the viral, bacterial, parasitic, fungal, nutritional and management problems a small flock actually meets, each with what you can do and what you cannot
- Prevention a backyard keeper can really run: biosecurity in a handful of habits, the thirty-day rule for new and returning birds, ventilation and litter, feed mistakes that imitate disease, and what your source of birds locks in
- The reporting gate: what avian influenza and Newcastle disease look like in a small flock, why there is nothing to try first, and exactly who to call
- Working with a veterinarian and your state diagnostic laboratory, including how to send a bird, what to say in ninety seconds, and why the lab is the cheapest powerful tool a flock owner has
- Forty-one worked cases, including the ones that end in a loss, because a guide that only shows recoveries is not a guide
- A symptom index of 128 observations in the words you would actually use, plus record sheets, a seasonal calendar and a 129-term glossary
