Book recommendations?

[gretamae]

This forum has been a great resource for me and my first year with chickens, but does anyone have recommendations for good books about raising chickens? I'm mostly looking for one that includes diagnoses of common chicken ailments.

But you get most of the info in these books for free in the forum.

My library just got this one in and I liked it:

City chicks : keeping micro-flocks of laying hens as garden helpers, compost creators, bio-recyclers and local food suppliers / by Patricia Foreman.
Foreman, Patricia L. (Patricia Louise), 1950-
Buena Vista, Va. : Good Earth Publications, c2010.
1st ed.

Storey's Guide To Chickens by Gail Damerow and her Chicken Health Handbook are invaluable to me. I'm sure Chicken For Dummies is good as well, but I don't have that one.
