A great site for diagnosing poultry diseases from symptoms

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Came across this wonderful site whilst trying to find out what was wrong with my rooster:

Would definitely put this one down under favourites. It goes through heaps of diseases giving you the symptoms, treatment, transmission, susceptible animals, and prevention. At the end it also has some charts you can go through to look for symptoms matching diseases to help rule out some (of course not every case shows every symptom but it shows you possible symptoms linked to diseases). When I was looking at it I found some possible causes for the illnesses some people mention on this forum, including a chicken dying with no symptoms whatsoever. Anyway found quite a few similar sites but this is the best so far. Hope it helps! Anyway, would definitely take a look!

I had just posted a question about my rooster and then came across your site suggestion. Thanks! I think there are a couple of problems that could be possibilities for my poor fellow. None that look to good for him though.
