I have this question about my chicken...
What would cause my little girls vent to look like this. Thanks.

I will definitely have my husband listen in on tomorrow's show. Our chicken that has a swollen vent also coughs all the time. I am afraid we are loosing her.

My question would be "Who is an avian/chicken vet in my area?" Horsejody has been trying to compile a list nationwide and there aren't too many vets available. This would be a great value to fellow BYC'ers. Thanks in adavnce! By the way, we are in the Indy meetup group and Jenn is a great gal!!

Hey Schultz,

There are only about 150 certified avian vets on the North American Continent! That's why you are having a hard time finding one in your area. There are other vets that are highly trained in the care of birds, but don't have the avain certification.

Hey rkschacht,

We will be talking about sneezing, coughing, and respiratory problems so you may pick up some tips! We talked a little bit about vents today and you can put Prep. H on the vent area if swollen.

Thanks for listening!
