I've only had one injured bird and found the treatment information I needed here. She recovered with isolation in a dog crate and antibiotic ointment.
I cannot envision spending money on a vet visit for a chicken. They're livestock, not pets.
A chicken appointment at my local vet doesn't cost any more than £30.I envy anyone who has a good accessible chicken vet at reasonable cost- around here finding one is nearly impossible save for an avian vet- and a friend of mine who takes her very special chickens to the vet has never gotten out of there for less than $300 ... for antibiotics or an x-ray and "keep in a crate for 3 weeks" ... in other words, minus the x-ray - advice that can be found here!!!!
I did and I would do it a million times over. My chickens I consider the same as a dog or cat. I’ve raised some since birth. People also raise them for livestock which I respect but not everyone does. I would do anything to help them.I've only had one injured bird and found the treatment information I needed here.
