this is essentially an index to what were pre-existing articles on the conditions listed, some good, some not so good. It's a great idea, but some of the pages it links to no longer exist, some of the authors haven't been seen for years so won't respond to any questions or comments, and almost everything is 10 years old or more. An updated version that keeps the best of what's here (the article on AI is very good for example), and replaces poor or lost ones with articles since published on the same injury or disease, could be a real asset.

Two of my hens will stand looking at each other and will pull neck feathers from each other's neck. What the heck is going on?
