About the Chicken Clinic
The Chicken Clinic is a single vet poultry practice, dedicated to treating pet poultry.
I offer video calls, home visits and training courses to help you care for your birds. Even if you’re not local to Bristol, I can help!
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.
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 who are inexperienced in treating poultry.
