Amid the sanctimonious abyss created by multitudes of books with the premise of the argument articulated solely through palliative care, this book enlightens a higher path toward raising a healthy brood through unique management practices that avert the possibility of the brood catching disease. These practices have been corroborated by studies that have glaringly proved that healthy chickens produce healthier eggs and meat.
Surrendering to the hearty clasp of this awe-inspiring book is inevitable because this book:

• Provides the diagnostic tools required to identify health problems in chickens and the ways through which they can be overcome.
• Lays out plans for structuring sanitary and hygienic chicken coops that provide a safe environment for the flock.
• Addresses ways of stifling the burgeoning threat of antimicrobial resistance that results from the overuse of antibiotics.
• Highlights quintessential brood health maintenance techniques that ameliorate egg-laying problems and maximize yield.
• Conveys cost-effective alternative care regimens combined with knowledge of hazardous backyard materials that are detrimental to chickens if ingested.

Review

The Beginners Guide to Chicken Health and Care: How to Optimize Your Flock’s Health, Avoid Diseases and Losses by O. Banks is an extremely insightful book about raising chickens and taking good care of them. The author has methodically laid out the plans and strategies needed to provide a safe environment for one’s flock and has provided a lot of useful insights into how to deal with and manage different types of medical conditions in the flock.

This book is a treasure trove of information for anyone looking to raise and maintain a chicken shed/farm or flock in a very systematic and sensible way. The book is well-structured and the author’s writing is very clear, concise and to the point.

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get into poultry farming or knows anyone who plans to.
