The Chicken Clinic is a single vet poultry practice, dedicated to treating pet poultry, in and around the Bristol area.
The service is mobile, bringing veterinary service to you. The benefits of seeing birds in their own environment is huge, it helps to provide essential information that may be missed in a clinic setting. My standard appointment time is longer than most vet consultations to allow for this.
Video calls are available for those further afield.
About the Chicken Clinic - chicken vet in Bristol
About me
I’m a commercial poultry vet. I’m passionate about poultry health, and providing veterinary services to pet poultry too. I currently work with both pet and commercial poultry, and I hope to expand my services as the Chicken Clinic grows.
Before I trained to be a poultry vet, I owned chickens and ducks for around 15 years. I also volunteered with wildlife charities, and with the British Hen Welfare Trust (BHWT) as a poorly hen carer, which involved nursing sick or injured birds back to health. This forced my realisation that veterinary services for pet poultry are limited, and it was one of my motivations for retraining to become a vet, and to specialise in poultry medicine.
Chickens are now the 4th most popular pet, and unfortunately it’s a common story that owners are unable to find a vet, experienced in chickens or other poultry.
Since graduating, I’ve worked with commercial poultry and pet poultry. I’ve also worked with the BHWT, to produce poultryvetguide.com, which provides information and guidance for vets that are inexperienced in treating poultry.
