BSAVA Manual of Backyard Poultry

Guy Poland, Aidan Raftery

The aim of this manual is to provide good quality information to help veterinarians provide the level of care to backyard birds that clients expect and deserve.

When a backyard bird becomes ill, therefore, their owner expects access to caring and competent veterinary care, often with an expectation that such care should meet the standard on offer to their dog or cat.

The manual covers chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, ornamental pheasants and peafowl.
