I sold six 2 year old laying hens (RIR and Golden Comet) about a month ago, and now the person that bought them messaged me, saying that they haven't been laying for the past 2 weeks. They were healthy and laying when I sold them. Any ideas on how to respond?
I have no history of Marek's in my flock, but I was wondering...If I buy unvaccinated chicks from breeding stock that was vaccinated, will the chicks carry antibodies? And could those antibodies spread the disease to my existing flock?

What about this one?? He/she is the same age as the one I posted above.
I've been so busy, I haven't kept a close eye on either of these two, especially since I wrote them off...
