Consultations
I offer video services, in-person appointments and home visits.
​
Home visits are helpful to see birds in their natural environment. Then they are not stressed and underlying causes can be best identified. Most illnesses are secondary to underlying factors so a visit can be very beneficial to prevent further problems.
If you are not local to myself or another poultry vet, I can help you keep your flock healthy via video and telephone consultations. Bring your hen to the camera or show me round your coop.
Please ensure you have registered your flock with your local veterinary practice in the event of an emergency as they will have the equipment your bird needs.
If your local vet requires, I can help them perform investigations or treatments.
