Avian medicine info.

I found this website that has full access to a book on avian medicine. It's focused mainly on parrots but it has a chapter for just waterfowl and another for chickens and related fowl.

Awesome resource! Thanks for posting. Dr. Ritchie is known more for working with parrots and in particular Proventricular Dilatation Disease (talk about something frustrating to deal with). He is a really nice guy. That book has been out a long time, but I have never purchased it. I will have to check out the waterfowl chapter. The Tully Avian Medicine book I think has a more extensive waterfowl section, but it is probably beyond the scope of information a small flock owner would be interested in and it's a little expensive (I have one for sale for $100). I will have to check out the Ritchie book to see how it compares. Thanks again for posting this!
