That's funny because most farm animal vets don't touch chickens in my experience. They say, "just cull it". After all it's only a chicken. You need a vet that sees them as pets.
That is (sad, but) interesting. I really thought my current vet would...he and his wife love all animals and I've seen people bring in reptiles and parrots (pre-covid...now you wait in car until they call you to come in).

It could be now that chickens are more popular in urban and suburban areas there will be a higher demand for veterinary care needs :fl
 
As a follow up to vet care needs and how it relates to pandemic chicken newbies...(of which I technically fall into, but have duck experience from eons ago)

I don't approve of ppl just letting these birds loose. They aren't prepared for survival, especially if not raised with older and wizened birds.
That being said, I do find delight in feral chickens... like the Florida keys and PR and Mexico and CR.

There is a society of vets that care for avian patients. I will try to find the link and post it for you.

It's shameful and there should be a consequence for them. They accepted a responsibility for a living creature. They are abandoning that responsibility and sending them to their deaths because they are no longer convenient and have no compunction over it. These people have no character and if I knew them I would avoid them before they discarded me as well.

They have no honor. 🤬
 
Very exciting they have shipped @BY Bob!! I hope they arrive safely, the anticipation of it all is killing me 🥰 I’m quite an impatient person 🤭
You should be me! I'm actually getting them. Mrs BY Bob is so excited that we got the Polish. Those are her babies and she loves chicks!
