Re: Sick Black Rock

Yeah, interesting comment on vets. The largest practice in our area
only had one vet that apparently knew anything about chickens. We
would have had to wait 10 days before he came back from holiday. Thank
God for SPR

What a shame! But thanks for coming back with that.
Its not something that is commonly diagnosed, probably because most folks do
not bother to follow it up and also because the symptoms are similar on
description to egg breaking inside.
I am really hoping that with the burgeoning hobby of poultry keeping there
starts a much stronger movement within the veterinary world to recognise
domestic poultry keepers as valid clients and start doing more homework
instead of constantly dismissing people and their animals.
There is a lot to learn but a lot that is already available.
If they do not then it could become a issue of welfare, against them,
because people are wanting to care better for their birds but are being
denied the opportunity.
Too many vets will also not put the bird down either, telling folks to take
little Henrietta home with some Baytril or similar and see what happens.
That is not good at all.
