Chicken friendly vet-Berkshire/Surrey/Middlesex/Sth Bucks?

Recommended Posts

hi all

 

I live in Old Windsor, and am looking for a chickenfriendly vet to register my chickens with.

 

I took Scarlett to my usual Vet today, having phoned to find out whether they had anyone who knew about chickens (they don't have a chicken specialist, but one of their does look at chickens) and wasn't really happy. (Which is unusual, as the vet I saw is excellent with my cats).

 

I don't mind having to travel, if it means getting a vet who has a lot of practical experience. I live on the Berkshire/Surrey border, and close to M25 J13 and M4 J6.

 

Can anyone make any recommendations?

Hi WitchHazel. Would you let us know if he suggests anyone local. I'm in Wokingham and haven't found anyone yet. There was a vet in Ascot who said they would look at chickens but I don't think they've got a chicken vet and I've not needed to go yet. But any info you come across would be handy.

Sorry me again, I don't know who your usual vet is but I found this vet info last year when I was doing general searches for poultry vets. I haven't used them at all but perhaps someone else may have some experience.

Surgeries in Windsor, Egham & Ascot. They have a farm section but it doesn't mention poultry (but on the ever changing pictures on their home page they show a chicken...!!).

 

Also did you see this in FAQ section, got a few Berkshire vets on it.

Hi Hen Watch. Forest House don't have anyone with a lot of experience in poultry. I contacted them a on Tuesday and asked them. They did, however, recommend a guy at Kelperland (MoneyRow Green).

 

I'm going to visit Keperland to find out more and will add the details to the FAQ section (thanks for the link).
