Question of the Day - Wednesday, August 27th, 2025

Today's question is from @ShrekDawg:

Have you ever taken a chicken to the vet? If not, would you?

I've taken peafowl, ducks, and turkeys to the vet in the past, but am unlikely to do it in the near future. I have everything I need to treat them here.

 

[Lacy Duckwing]

No and no. If I was to ever take a chicken to a vet, it'd have to be some expensive bird that came from Greenfire Hatchery or something. Even though I love my birds dearly, I could never afford an expensive vet bill and there's not really any chicken vets in my area that I know of. The closest to a vet I'll ever be able to get with a chicken is the chicken health experts here on BYC.

[ShrekDawg]

No but I probably would if I still had them.

 

[Evadig]

No, I couldn’t afford it.

No/no

 

[FrostRanger]

Nearest vet that sees chickens is several towns over, so no
