Ribh's D'Coopage

Good evening everyone 😊


Well, that was one of the better vet experiences I've had. Not an avian vet ~ but she keeps chickens, speckled sussex & some RIR to be exact, so understood where I was coming from . As a confidence booster I was told both birds looked beautifully cared for & very healthy. Suyin may need a blood test @ some point. She drinks huge amounts of water & a little more weight would not be a bad thing but coming out of a moult...yadda, yadda. Basically keep an eye on Alpia & if she shows other symptoms...back we go!

It was actually rather funny.

I got the usual questions but my answers were not quite what the vet was expecting. How many birds? ... 14. Her jaw dropped. What breeds? Frizzle ~ she knew that & loves them. I told her my Barred Rocks were still laying through their moult & her jaw dropped a little further. Then I told her about my screaming Harridans, my Silver Campines doing circuits of the hill screeching & Her eyes grew big. :lau Plus I have blue egg layers. I'm sure she now thinks I'm quite mad. So not necessarily super knowledgeable about breeds but as she keeps chooks herself understands them better than she might otherwise & certainly gets why I am so fond of my birds.

I am relieved & confident I can work with this vet ~ & knowing that super skinny birds aren't abnormal is a good thing because Morrigu is also pretty skinny. Feeling so much better ~ & very reasonably priced!​

That's great news , so happy for you 😊

My evenings beautiful sunset
