Poultry in General Practice: Veterinary Medicine for Chickens in Small Flocks

Edited by Brigetta Allen Hughes, DVM, MAM, DACPV

In the United States, small flocks of poultry have become increasingly popular and the trend is unlikely to slow down. In one survey, owners listed food production as the No. 1 reason for owning chickens (95%), but it is often combined with reasons such as gardening partners (63%) and pets (57%). Veterinarians in general practice may see an increase in “backyard chickens” or other poultry species presenting to their clinic and need a guide on how to approach the most common diseases and conditions. This publication was developed to serve as a practical companion for these professionals.

Written by a mix of both avian and poultry specialists, this publication combines both disciplines to offer veterinary practitioners with a well-rounded approach to backyard chickens and small flock poultry. While starting with necessary introductory concepts, each chapter covers intermediate- to advanced-level material in its scope and offers resources for further investigation. The accessible design includes quick-reference resources for busy professionals, including visual algorithms, drug formularies, reference tables, and video demonstrations.
