Keeping your flock healthy doesn't have to mean stressful trips or costly surprises. With TelaVets, you can access customized, professional care plans for your chickens, without ever leaving your property. Whether you’re raising hens for eggs or just love your backyard flock, proactive wellness is the key to long-term health and productivity.

Comprehensive Wellness Care for Your Chickens

A wellness check isn’t just about spotting illness—it’s about building a plan to help your flock thrive year-round. At TelaVets, we take a whole-flock approach to poultry health with attention to your birds, their behaviors, and their environment.

Regular Health Monitoring

Routine virtual exams help us spot early signs of issues and prevent serious problems. Our veterinarians guide you through a full assessment during each appointment.

  • Weight and body condition
  • Feather quality and coverage
  • Skin condition (irritations, parasites)
  • Foot and leg health
  • Beak alignment and function
  • Comb and wattles for color and swelling
  • Eye clarity and discharge
  • Breathing and respiratory sounds

🧠 Behavioral Monitoring

🏡 Environmental Checks

Your flock’s health starts with a safe, clean coop. We help evaluate:

  • Coop cleanliness and layout
  • Bedding condition and materials
  • Airflow and ventilation
  • Seasonal temperature and humidity levels
  • Presence of pests or rodents
  • Nest box hygiene and access

How Telavets Helps With Wellness

Our wellness appointments are more than a quick chat—they’re an opportunity to create a personalized health roadmap for your chickens.

✔️ Customized Wellness Plans

  • Tailored to your flock’s breed, age, and purpose (layers, pets, or show birds)
  • Nutritional guidance for optimal egg production and immune health
  • Parasite prevention schedules
  • Vaccination reminders (as appropriate)
  • Seasonal adjustment tips (heat, cold, daylight changes)

🛑 Problem Prevention

We help you catch and correct early signs of:

  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Behavioral changes linked to illness
  • Poor coop conditions
  • Pecking and bullying issues
  • Early respiratory or digestive concerns

🚚 Treatment When Needed

If a medical issue is uncovered, we:

  • Prescribe treatment when appropriate
  • Ship medications directly to your door
  • Provide detailed instructions for at-home care

Seasonal Care Guidelines

Each season brings different challenges for chickens. During your virtual wellness check, we help you prepare with:

  • Spring: Parasite control, brooding support, increased daylight laying plans
  • Summer: Heat stress prevention, hydration management, fly control
  • Fall: Molting care, nutrition adjustments, predator prevention
  • Winter: Insulation tips, supplemental lighting, frostbite prevention

Regular wellness care helps you stay ahead of seasonal risks and keep your flock comfortable and productive all year.

When to Schedule Wellness Checks

Routine wellness visits are a smart way to catch problems early and support long-term flock health. We recommend scheduling a virtual vet visit:

  • At the start of each new season
  • When adding new birds to your flock
  • After a period of illness or stress
  • If you’re unsure whether your current setup is supporting optimal health
  • If you’re seeing inconsistent egg production, reduced activity, or early signs of feather loss
