    That was a great article! Since no necropsy was performed it is somewhat impossible to know for sure if they had mareks or one of the other things listed! I didn't realize that so many it her things had leg paralysis as a symptom. It didn't help that I was very pregnant during the outbreak and...

    That is sad about them being carriers for life. After my last hen died I dug out all of the soil in the coop (1ft down) and replaced with sand and topsoil. The idea of it and the remaining hens still being somewhat contaminated is such a bummer! My girls moulted this winter so they're not...

    I didn't take the dead birds in... one of my friends is a vet asst. And she checked them and she said that the symptom accumulation was indicative of marks. Thank you for the heads up about the vaccine. All of this happened a year ago so the 3 left have been healthy and never showed any signs.

    Cockerels 2 of 9 first time, 1 of 6 second time but the 2nd time there were 2 or 3 that got sick and ended up infecting the rest of my coop with what we're thinking was mareks. I only have 3 left :( I don't know how common it is for EEs to lay huge eggs but one of the first round only laid giant...

    Thanks for your reply! I actually have 16- day olds in a cart ready to order at MPC but shipping alone is $70. I'm looking for a pretty traditional group of RIRs,BRs,EEs,CL,various orpingtons & maybe a couple welsummer or giant. Are the cream legbar & welsummer about the same size as the others...

    San Diego!!!

    I'm in SE Escondido too, off San Pasqual. I'm down to 3 hens but looking to add more soon! Anyone having issues with coyotes during the day? They're in the yard every night which always sends a brief panic of "did I lock the coop?" Knock on wood... they haven't shown any interest in the chickens...

    Hello chicken fans! I'm looking to increase my flock by about 15 or so. Where is my best bet for a variety of pullets in North County Inland? I've had some bad luck with Escondido Feed's 90% pullet selection. Is it worth shipping costs to use MPC or online hatcheries? Thanks in advance!

    Easter Egger hot??

    Mine do that when it gets warm... but its just panting... doesn't negatively affect them. As long as they have some shade and water they should be ok!
