the vet told me to only vaccinate new chicks. Problem is once you open the vial you have throw away the rest. You cant vaccinate older birds.

I have a chicken with progressive paralysis. I think she might have Merick disease. I am taking her to the UC davis backyard poultry to have her euthanized and a port mortem done.

Tom on my nerves already. I know now why he woke me up and it wasnt from "worry". He was hungry. A frozen pizza he couldnt do himself. I handed it to him and he walks away. I said, Did you say something ? No. Well dont you think you should ? He said thanks , takes a bite then complains its cold.

well if it , it is. I guess its in the dirt. Dont really know how you can screen for it. The vaccine is 100 percent effective. so I will know when I get the report. I would rather know than not.

OOPS, i meant the vaccine is NOT 100 PERCENT EFFECTIVE.

it was pretty cool where I took the bird. The vet came out and talked to me. She said not sell or give away any of my birds and give all new chicks the vaccine. I wont cull until they go down. She said wont be affected.

Where did you take it? To Davis or one of the extension sites?

I was going to ask. Thought maybe they developed a new more effective vaccine, darn it.

Such an interesting disease. It is similar to cancer in humans. They doing studies on the vaccine to use in humans.
