INDEX
A concise, hands‑on guide for anyone raising chickens or other fowl, this manual tackles the everyday battle against disease that can quickly turn a profitable flock into a loss. It stresses preventive habits—clean housing, sound feed, healthy stock selection—and offers clear, step‑by‑step advice for nursing sick birds and applying disinfectants effectively. The tone is practical rather than academic, aiming to give poultry keepers the confidence to spot trouble early and act without needing a laboratory.
The book walks through the most common external symptoms, from respiratory distress to leg problems, and pairs each with straightforward treatment tips. Detailed sections on post‑mortem examinations show how to interpret internal signs, supported by numerous black‑and‑white illustrations that demystify the process. Readers will come away with a solid toolbox for keeping their flocks healthy and their operations running smoothly.

Best known for an early practical guide to keeping flocks healthy, this little-known writer focused on useful, hands-on subjects rather than literary fame. Surviving records also link the author to a much earlier book on Jamaican souvenir crafts, hinting at an unusually varied career.
