Backyard poultry
& goats
Every practice in the book whose own website names chickens, goats or both — 53 of them, across twelve states. It is the hardest lane to fill honestly and the shortest at night: three of the fifty-three say somebody is there overnight, and they are below. The rest is daylight work and it waits under them.
If it's an emergency, call before you drive.
“24/7 emergency care at both of our locations to help your pet when they need us most.”
24/7 · BACKYARD POULTRYBIRDS YES, GOATS NOThe exotic service at the O’Fallon location lists the birds it takes — “Parrots, finches, canaries, backyard poultry, and others.” There is no goat or livestock service anywhere on the site. If it’s a goat at 2 a.m., this is not your number.

24 HOURS · MIXED PRACTICE · GOATSWHAT THEY KEEP FOR THE FARM“For our large animal clients, we carry a variety of supplies for cattle, horses, sheep, llamas, alpacas, goats and hogs.” Farm calls are offered “for those who would rather care for their animals at home.” No poultry is stated anywhere on the site.

The goat work is Food Animal and Camelid Field Services, which “provides on-farm services to livestock producers in the general Ames area” — the Ames area, not the whole state, and daytime field work, not a night truck. Say what you have on the phone.

Two rings. The Memphis three are the split in miniature — one clinic that says both, two that say chickens and stop — and Nashville is goat country with one mixed practice that takes birds too.
The clinic cares for “dogs, cats, chickens, and exotic pets, including small mammals, birds, and reptiles.” Poultry only — no goat, cattle or farm-call claim on the site.

Kentucky
One ring out of Louisville, and one practice in it — the only entry in the book built around small ruminants first, where goats and sheep are the practice and not a sideline.
Katie Jackson, DVM — llamas and alpacas, sheep and goats, and small-animal work limited to working livestock guardian dogs. This is the closest thing in the book to a goat specialist. Under “Cattle, pig, & poultry” the site says only “Limited services available for other species.”, which is why the mark is on the name: the birds are the limited part. The site lists “24/7 emergency care” for small ruminants and camelids and states “Emergency coverage available currently for small ruminants & camelids only” — not a public emergency room, so not in the overnight lane above. Only “Salvisa, KY 40372” is published; there is no street address.

One ring out of Birmingham, and the most evenly split state here — three goat practices, one bird practice, one that does both and drives out.
The bird list runs to “chickens, turkeys, pheasants, peacocks, ducks, and geese”, and they take “pot-bellied pigs” besides. No goat or other livestock care is stated on the site, so this one is birds and nothing further.

One ring out of Jackson. Three, all goats, two of them trucks. Nobody in this ring says poultry.
Large-animal care for “horses, cows, goats, and more”, with “Our fully equipped ambulatory trucks bring veterinary care directly to your farm or pasture.” On nights the site says the large-animal team “is available 24/7, offering reliable and consistent emergency care” with “24-hour emergency coverage within our service area” — that is a truck covering its own territory, not a hospital you can drive to, so it is not in the overnight lane above.

A fully mobile house-call practice with a backyard-chicken service list of its own — exams, nutrition, husbandry, parasite control, diagnostics, illness and injury care, vaccinations. The site says plainly it takes no livestock, no goats and no farm calls, and it names its round: “North Metro Atlanta, including areas such as Alpharetta, Buford, Cumming, Duluth, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, Lawrenceville, Peachtree Corners, Roswell, Sugar Hill, and Suwanee.”

One lane, two animals
Six of the bird practices take no goats at all — small-animal and exotic clinics with a chicken page, not farm vets, and four of them sit inside a metro. Read the row before you load a goat into a car.
THE CHICKEN IS THE HARD ONE
Of these fifty-three practices, forty-seven name goats on their own site and only sixteen name poultry. Ten name both. So the lane the feed store thinks of as one errand is really two, and the shorter half is the birds: outside those sixteen, a backyard flock in this country is looking at an exotics vet, a long drive, or nobody. That is the whole finding, and we are not going to pad it by counting clinics that never said the word.
Two practices carry a QUALIFIED mark below. The mark means the practice's own site puts a limit on this lane itself — limited service for birds, or preventative goat work by appointment only. It is not a knock. It is the sentence they wrote about themselves, moved up where you will see it before you drive.

KANSAS — NONE, AND THAT IS THE FINDING
The Wichita ring is walked and it turned up twelve practices, and not one of them says chickens or goats on its own website. So Kansas gets no block on this page. It is not that we skipped it — the four practices filed under Missouri above are physically in Kansas, on the Kansas City ring's own side of the line, and you can see them in the Missouri block. The rest of the state, on this lane, is honestly empty until somebody's site says otherwise.
How this page was made
Checked 9 August 2026 · 53 practicesTheir site or nothing
Every name, number, address and overnight claim on this page was read off the practice's own website on 9 August 2026, and every source is printed with the listing. No Yelp, no map cards, no directory scrapes. Where a practice doesn't publish a thing — a street address, a set of hours — the line says so instead of filling it in.
Species are claims, not guesses
A practice is in this lane because its own site names chickens or goats. Where it names them we name them back; where it says it takes no livestock, or offers only limited service for a species, we print that too. Hours live on the ring pages, quoted in the practice's own words — this page is the lane, not the clock.
No status lights, no stars
Nothing here is rendered as “open now” — the day a clinic closes early is exactly the day a status light gets you killed on the drive. No ratings, no reviews, no sponsored placements, no affiliate links, nowhere in this book. Order is by state, then by ring, then alphabetical.
