91F right now. Time to get out there and work on the coop before I lose more shade!

Howdy, @TexasMelody Welcome to the Texas thread.

Back at you! I am a complete novice. My first chicken but I am excited to learn!

Hello:

I have a 3 year old chicken with respiratory issues. I am looking for a good veterinarian who services chickens in Austin, Texas. I have a question to BYC members who are in Austin: what veterinarians have you used that are good?

Im sorry that you have an illness in your flock. I hope you find a veterinarian who will see her. I haven't had much luck with vets. Most of them, even if they are willing to treat a chicken, don't have any practical experience with them. If you haven't asked for advice in the emergency forum, you might want to start a thread there.

Only 85F so I gotta move! I'm trying to get these girls (and guy) moved outside for Independence Day, but I might wait until the 5th since there might be fireworks.

Bought the last set of roof panels, gotta cut and throw them up today and hardware cloth tomorrow.

I had a flock of three hens previously. Two died. One died of, I suspect, reproductive issues. The other died of respiratory illness last night. I have only one hen left now - Percy. I will try taking her to the veterinarian soon to see if anything is wrong with her.

I do not want Percy to live alone, but I do not think I can go through losing any more chickens. Because of that I do not think that I will be able to keep Percy any more, and I will have to give her up.

Does any one have any suggestions as to reliable bird organizations/ bird homes that I can give her away to? Specifically locations around Austin, Texas?
