+2 for Chickenvet. I was asked to go and examine a 'flock' of about 50 chickens kept at a special needs centre where they also sell the eggs to the public. One of my nurse knows more than I do so I took her along but she pointed me to Chickenvet so I sounded half way knowledgeable.

+1 to Neil's reply

Chicken Vet did a really good series with Webinar Vet if an attendance course is not a possibility.

BSAVA Farm Animal Manual is also very helpful. I use Denagard (if appropriate) because it has a licence. For analgesia I try and pick something like meloxicam which is at least licenced in other farm species. For low burdens of ectos, displaces earth is useful and has no residue issues
