Description
Keep your backyard chickens happy, thriving, and free from illness with this essential guide to problem prevention, health care, and confident flock management.

Backyard chicken keeping is endlessly rewarding, but it's not without challenges. Chickens are surprisingly complex creatures, prone to issues ranging from minor ailments to serious health concerns. In A Healthy Home Flock, author Nikki Husted of Purely Chickens offers her clear, compassionate, and practical approach to chicken care, teaching you how to recognize the signs of good health, catch problems early, and provide effective treatment when trouble strikes.

Illustrated with detailed color photographs and written in plain language every chicken keeper can understand, this guide empowers you to handle everything from common first aid to nutritional support and disease prevention with ease. Whether you have a handful of hens or a growing flock, you'll gain the knowledge to keep your birds in top condition for years to come.

Inside A Healthy Home Flock, you'll discover:

  • How to identify signs of good (and poor) health through behavior, posture, appearance . . . and poop!
  • Guidance for preventing and treating common conditions like parasites, frostbite, spraddle leg, and egg binding.
  • Step-by-step instructions for setting up and using a chicken first aid kit.
  • Tips for protecting your flock from predators and environmental stressors.
  • Essential advice on nutrition, feed, and supplements that support long-term flock health.
  • Includes profiles of over 50 common internal and external ailments, with treatment and prevention plans for each.

Practical, reassuring, and filled with field-tested advice, A Healthy Home Flock equips you with the confidence and know-how to raise healthy, resilient birds from hatch to adulthood.
