E. Jocelyn Wortley
67 pages~1 hr 20 min read91 chapters$4.99
A hen that stops eating and goes light is telling you something, and Wortley wants you to read the sign before it spreads through the flock. This field manual runs through external symptoms, abscesses, anaemia, and the pests that plague fowls, with treatment for each. Keep it near the coop and catch trouble early.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
