It doesn't follow. This area has always been a farming district but there is only the one vet who does chickens & horses. Since I moved I have a vet just round the corner & they reliably carry the special kibble all my cats need so I considered changing vets but when I asked, nope, they don't do chickens, just cats & dogs.
What's the surrounding population? Is it upwards of a million in 50km radius?
Im so sorry im behind trying to catch up and didn't want to comment before I got to the end. I can't help but say what a wonderful vet practice this seems to be.
It really is Bob!
Brisbane, outer suburbs. No idea of the actual population. My suburb used to be market gardens. Chickens have always been a thing here. I often see/hear chickens when I walk but they still seem to be seen as a disposable commodity. I know nearly as much about chickens as my vet does ~ which is super scary as I'm not that knowledgeable. Just the same, they are excellent with pet owners & when Kirby was hospitalised I was allowed to visit, which I needed even if he didn't.
This prevailing attitude would definitely lead an exotic species vet looking to work with chickens to set up elsewhere!
Janet loved it too! And Mary. Peggy was doing all her drives before I was confident enough to let a hen out of her basket for the drive home.
It's a little sad that now when I take them for rides it's usually very serious and hard to enjoy with them.
You need more Christmas photo runs in the car to even the score.
