Thanks, I love having chickens. I live in the middle of town and have one other neighbor a block away who has chickens and two more who want to get them. It's going to be cluck central in our little neighborhood.
What an incredible setting for your coop!!! Wow, am I jealous! You both did a fantastic job and have a beautiful coop/run to be very proud of. Could you give details on how you built the automatic feeder? That looks like a great idea and would keep the food dry and not moldy. I have 5 chickens...
For someone who has never built anything before, that coop is AMAZING!!! Seriously you really thought out a great design and took such care in building it, and I love your creative color scheme. You and your wife make a great team! I have an adorable coop, but yours makes my jealous:) Having pet...

Anyway, to answer your question about a vet. Dodge City Animal Hospital in Denham Springs...
