The vet I saw asked me questions about chickens that I was positive a vet should already know and seemed very unsure of what she was doing. She asked me things like, is 19 weeks old...

    Hi all, First time posting here so forgive any formatting/nomenclature errors. I have two Buff Brahmas and four other chickens. The Brahma I’m worried about is 21 weeks old and is usually very spritely, friendly, and curious. Her sisters are also doing just fine, running around and...
