I second the Farm Pets book. Really good. :)

I've never seen that one before. Looks like it would be good. Victoria Roberts certainly knows her stuff.

Maybe not the greatest text out there but should cover you for most of what you'd want to know - BSAVA manual of farm pets. For people seeing the odd chicken, goat, llama etc it's not too bad. If your after a more specific poultry book then Poutlry diseases is ok although does cover a fair bit of the commercial side.

Personally I prefer Martin's book.
