Well, I'm getting my feet wet today!  Off to the Vet with 9 chickens.  I want to see what he has to say on a Check up.  Worms, colds, health in general.  Will post later.  Wish HIM luck!  and us too :shock:

Your vet wont be able to tell whether your birds have worms unless he does a post mortum. :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

You can tell yourself if the bird has a cold, a visit to a vet would cost an arm and a leg over here Betty.

Not true Bodger :!:  My OH is a clinical parasitologist and he screens my chooks poo every 6 months for worms and coccidia.  He dosen't kill my them to do it  :shock:  :!:

Could all be a bit on the expensive side Aunt Sally, which was the point that I was trying to get across initially

A bit  :!:

No Bodger,  very, very, very expensive :!:

OH would charge about £35 a test and the vet would add his bit on  :shock:

Only sensible for very valuable stock or very precious pets  :roll:

I've been reading through these poultry pages for months to get an idea of what it would be like to own some chickens - how much it would cost, diseases to look out for, all the pros and cons. Have just added to the list of things I will need; marry a clinical parasitologist.

This may all take longer than I thought  :?

[muntjac]

what ya need is all on the top page on poultry forum    

" keeping chickens no sentiment "

Thanks Munty - I did read your bit on despatching a chicken too.

Chickens and hopefully bees are my project for the future. In the mean time I'll keep reading these pages every day.
