The best book for the laymen is 'The Chicken Health Handbook" by Gail Damerow.

There are others written for veterinarians.

that book looks great. would you recommend one of the books for veterinarians, I like how they brake things down technical, and explain why and how the diseases work.

The problem with those is that they are very pricey.

The first edition of the Gail Damerow book can be had for about $15. The second edition came out this year.

I prefer the referring to the "Merck Vet Manual." It's easily accessable online and it's free.
