The process
How it works
Three steps, from wondering whether something is wrong to having advice in writing.
Book a time
Pick a slot that suits you from the online calendar. No phone tag, no waiting room.
Meet by video
A 30 minute video consult with Dr Sarah Webb. Have your chicken with you for the call, somewhere with good light and steady reception.
Get it in writing
A full written report by email within 24 hours. Free, and yours to keep for any vet you see next.
What you get
What you walk away with
Every consultation is built around one question: what do you do next?
- Know if it can wait. Whether that quiet, puffed up hen needs a vet tonight, or can safely wait until morning.
- A feed and housing plan that fits your setup. Not generic advice. Advice for your coop, your birds and your climate, covering feeding, housing and day to day management.
- A written report within 24 hours. Free, yours to keep, and ready to hand to any vet you see next. It doubles as a health record for your flock.
- An honest answer about limits. If your bird needs hands on examination or a specialist, you are told on the call, not after paying.
From day old chicks to a laying flock, the questions change but the approach does not: work out what is actually going on, then tell you plainly what to do about it.
