You live in a different world. I have found one vet who knows the back end of a chicken from the beak end. She is not an avian vet but she has a small flock and sees other types of birds, reptiles etc. Just one. She doesn't work full time.
Sure, if I needed a chicken euthenized then a larger number of vets would be willing to help me put an animal out of its misery as an emergency.

It really is a sad state of affairs to get chickens help here in the states.

Yup. Raccoons. They clear an entire tree overnight.

Where do they get the water to eat all of them?

I'm grateful to have my privileges revealed to me.

Spoiler: For those who don't know

There are a number of avian specialist vets within a 40 minute drive of my house. The chickens at my house see Dr Mark who provides a range of consults: appointments, emergencies, phone. I've made use of all three. One time he kept a hen under observation in the hospital for a weekend, decided there was nothing wrong with her, and didn't even charge me for it.

I'm clueless why services I take for granted in Australia are not available in the US or the UK. Any ideas?

Last Night's Roosting was Successful

They figured it out but Lady Featherington and Glynda turned around for some strange reason. Gucci stayed as I placed her. Overall a success! I wonder how tonight will go.

I truly wish I knew. Even having found a vet she is only open Monday through Thursday. I'm on my own Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Beauties

How is Xzit today? I tried to scan back, is she still not eating when you watch

She’ll eat from my hand (if I have a good treat) otherwise no. She hides her eating habits.

No, I’m not kidding. (And don’t call me Shirley!)

I've learned to pick my pears a couple of days before they are ready otherwise my dogs get em when they fall or possums get em at night.

Yup. Raccoons. They clear an entire tree overnight.
