I have 4 mareks exposed chickens NEED to find home

[schnebbles]

I don't know if this will even be possible but I just can't cull. I have a pretty white silkie roo who is 1year and wasn't vaccinated. 1 year old partridge silkie hen, vaccinated. 2 ee's I recently got who are I'm going to say at least 18 weeks, give or take. Not laying yet.

Would anyone who has mareks be willing to take them? I'm in Ohio and I have to move and can't take them.

Did you have a mareks case? I have had mareks over winter but we bleached everything and havent had one since. You should do the same. Viniger works well to.

Hi - yes, I've had losses from it. I did clean my coop with Virkon-s which says it kills it, but you can't really ever get rid of it, especially if your birds were exposed, they will always be carriers.

I am probably moving and must find them a home because they can't go with me unfortunately.

If you can ship, I'll take the Silky hen! I live in northern GA.

have you had mareks? You realize she will be a carrier since she's been exposed? I need to make sure before I would do anything to risk other peoples chickens.

 

[AxelFlynn08]

No, we haven't. I didn't think about that...do you know how much it is to vaccinate then?

 

[schnebbles]

You must vaccinate day old chicks. I would not want to send you mareks chickens unless you already have it in the flock.
