I have a flock of 15 adult hens (1.5yrs old) that were vaccinated at the hatchery as chicks. I have 5 new chicks from a classroom incubator hatching project that are now 2 weeks old that will eventually join them. Should I vaccinate them for Marek's because my original flock is? It's not too...

Hi everyone! Hoping for some advice. I recently brought home 4 leghorn chicks from my son's classroom hatching project. They were 4 days old and once I got home, I noticed one with labored breathing (not open mouth, no discharges/sneezing, was eating, normal droppings)... its butt just moved...

Hi guys! Chicken and forum newbie here... but doing all the research I can to get everything right before I get my chicks next spring. I'm located in southeast Texas (Danbury, which is between Houston and Lake Jackson) and am trying to see where the best place(s) to purchase my chicks. I'm...
