Unfortunately, the luxury of a vet who will treat chickens is not available widely here in the US. An avian vet is even rarer. Expense is also a large consideration for many, many people. Just walking in the door will set a person back $200 or more. But we always encourage people to utilize a vet if they are able as we (with very rare exceptions) are not vets here, and we acknowledge it all the time.
This is the purpose of this site. We who have had the experience and have acquired the knowledge pass on what we have found to work. As I have said, sometimes even having access to an avian vet and the means to pay isn't an option when a hen is egg bound or prolapsed and minutes saved can mean the difference between life and death.
