State Veterinarian

I reported the abandonment of turkeys and chickens by tenants on my rental property on Saturday, 13 Nov 21. Monday morning before 9 AM, a state veterinarian and Lincoln county sheriff’s officer were at my property in response to my complaint. The tenants came an got the chickens on Sunday afternoon, 14 Nov 21. The tenants abandoned the property approximately two weeks prior to me filing a complaint with no notice. Two grown domestic turkeys and approximately ten chickens in a 10 x 10 pen. No food and a five gallon bucket of water that only the turkeys could reach. I bought food and provided water. I want to commend the state veterinarian’s office for their prompt response and professionalism. I very much appreciate their response. Very impressive!
