Chickens make the best patients! Backyard poultry represents a growing segment of the companion animal veterinary market. As pet chickens are classified as food animals, it behooves the clinician to be aware of laws surrounding drug use in these patients. This lecture will cover the basics of backyard poultry husbandry, medicine and anatomy and physiology. Attendees will be prepared to add these fabulous creatures to their appointment schedule.  

Learning Objectives:

  •  Learn resources for drug use permitted in backyard poultry

  • Understand general care and feeding requirements for backyard poultry, including manifestation of nutritional deficiencies

  • Discuss diagnosis and treatment of common bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections

  • Learn management of trauma presentations

  • Overview case discussions and common breeds
