"The A-Z chicken companion"--Back cover.
Summary:
From addled to wind egg, crossed beak to zygote, the terminology of everything chicken is demystified in this comprehensive A-to-Z reference volume presented in a highly illustrated format. Breed descriptions; definitions of the most common conditions, situations, characteristics, and behaviors of chickens. The difference between wry tail, split tail, and gamy tail; the meaning of hen feathered, forced molt, or quill feather; the characteristics of droopy wing; the content of granite grit; or the translation of an alarm call, here are the answers to every chicken question. The entries go beyond simple definitions to offer solutions to problems, instructions for tasks from catching a chicken to candling an egg, and historical origins of poultry-related terms.
