Books?

[Cee]

Do you have any books you recommend? I'm very interested in diseases, injuries, first aide.
Also sociology (not sure if that's the right word)
How chickens think and get along with eachother, body language.

I have a couple books by Gail Damerow that I've found helpful, especially The Chicken Health Handbook.

For general information, GDs books are good. She does have some not so great recommendations in there though. You can google the veterinary Merck Manual, which is very interesting, about health and disease management.
The Livestock Conservancy has good books and articles available. I have their 'Introduction to Heritage Breeds', and there's one about breeding rare breed too. 'Storey's Illustrated Guide to Poultry Breeds' is beautiful!
University poultry departments have resources, and ag. extension may also.
I really don't have that many books myself...
