So I have this friend that I gave 14 chickens to right before I found out about the MG thing. She was just starting out with chickens and very enthusiastic. I told her immediately, of course. And she was really nice about it. But she is now talking about getting a couple of turkey poults and I am so nervous. She really likes turkeys and really wants them but I know that turkeys get affected by MG worse than chickens. I hope it goes well for her, but I am scared. Would pre-dosing the poults with denagard be a good idea?
Having turkeys around is good for natural resistance against Mareks (because the kind of Mareks that turkeys get isn’t as serious to them as it is to chickens and the turkey version of Mareks is actually what they use to inoculate chickens against it so it is like they are getting a constant dosing of the inoculation.) So they would be useful to have around. I just hope it works out well for her. I am going to feel really badly if it doesn’t.
