Chicken friendly Veterinary surgeries and Analysis/testing services in Norfolk around Norfolk areas
 

This is a list that I have comprised, there may be other vets that are chicken friendly, and knowledgeable.  I ask if you know one I haven't listed please contact me with their details to add to this page. 
 
Please do not be put off by a unhelpful vet, most vets haven't the extra training that an avian vet has, so often are stumped at 'chicken' problems.
 
If you are not happy, or would like to use a more knowledgeable vet then please view below for one nearest to you.
 
 

 
Analysis and testing
 
 
Often if your chickens are showing signs of illness, diarrhoea or more than one of them showing similar ill symptoms then the best thing to do is get a sample of their faeces, or discharge sent off for analysis.  This sounds expensive but often isn't, a sample can be posted and a diagnoses given for around £10-£20 depending on testing and clinic used.
 
Below are 2 very good sample anaylsis clinics.  Neither are a veterinary surgery, simply run tests on samples, give diagnoses, and can give your vet a prescription to give you.
