Just wanted to share this link with those who havn't been on it. I find this a really valuable resource for doing research and looking up clinical signs of illness in poultry. Anyone else use this?

Yeah MerckVet is great too. I also use the Compendium of Veterinary Products a lot to look up what drugs to use and dosages etc, but I think you have to be a vet or vet tech to have access to it - I've tried sending links from it before to friends and it won't let them access it.
