Since I had to buy 1000 doses of Marek's vaccine, I decided it couldn't hurt to experiment a bit.
I vaccinated one silkie who is not running for treats as usual, (I would think we all know our chickens' normal behavior).
I vaccinated 2 Polish 19 weeks old, still alive from the 10 I started with. No real symptoms, but wasting away and eating.
I vaccinated the Polish roo, also, who I think has his eyesight affected, and wasting, AND, he has some tumorous growths on his wattles and his nose above one of his nostrils. Not good.
Last, I vaccinated my Jersey Giant, Charlene, who is my oldest, 4 years old. But hasn't been as peppy or shiny as her 2 sisters. Now, I know the heat stresses her alot, and she was the roo's favorite. But I figured it couldn't hurt
I hope it does somebody some good.
