I am asking here because I have poured over countless threads and am not finding answers to my specific situation. I am hoping someone much more experienced than I can assist! Thank you in advance. I have a two part question;
1) I just successfully hatched 2 chicks in an incubator from eggs of...
I am sending in a test for MG but the symptoms are sneezing, light snot and sometimes bubbles in the eye. I’ve been treating with Tylan 50 or Tiaguard.
My dad also raises his chickens and they show the same symptoms but worse since he doesn’t care to treat it consistently or as needed. His coop...
Does anyone have experience with a mixed flock of birds vaccinated for Mareks with birds unvaccinated? What happened to the birds weekly/monthly/over the years living together?
Thanks!
Based on hours of reading last night, I’m about 99% sure our 8 week old Speckled Sussex has Marek’s. If you could read below and give me your best thoughts on what to do next in my situation, I would absolutely appreciate it. I’m realistic but also…my babies…

Question(s)…
we have 2 8wk old seramas that were vaccinated for Merricks when they were just born from the farm we purchased them from. We are now getting 2 more seramas to add to our flock who are not vaccinated and a few weeks older. (Maybe 3-6?) Anything we should be worried for/look out...

I just had 2 chicks hatch yesterday, we have them on medicated chick feed with broody silkie/polish mama taking care of them (she hatched the big chicken eggs). There are still eggs under the other broody hen that could also hatch at any time. How important is giving the Marek's vaccine right...
I am wanting to give a home to some ex-battery hens which I can potentially pick up on Sunday.
I believe that all 'commerical' chickens are vaccinated against things such as marek's. This is good because unfortunately my small flock was exposed to marek's in the past. The hens that survived...
Hello ! I have minimal experience with chickens. We recently moved from a condo into a house, and have the opportunity to do a backyard mini flock again. I purchased four pullets from a breed specific breeder, that does not vaccinate her birds. My question is this. I would like to add three or...
