I had to sadly have one of my two chickens put down, and I brought her body to the Division of Animal Health for testing. Despite not being a commercial farmer - this was my pet - everyone was very empathetic and helpful. In particular, pathologist Dr. Craig Sarver was amazing. Took me back into a room to go over the process, was so kind, informative and reassuring. He not only took a lot of time out of his day to walk me through everything, but offered advice, gave me a list of vets who will treat chickens, and gave me his card in case I had other questions. He thoroughly reviewed the situation and told me what tests were unnecessary in order to keep costs down. All together, it was only $34 for an hour of his time and everything he was going to have to do for the necropsy. I can't thank them enough.
