Awesome! They just finished a round of tetracycline, so I wouldn't be able to eat the eggs for the next 21 days anyway. So a month sounds great to be lol i would HATE to have to throw out my very first egg :(
Good to know. So maybe she is just maturing before the others? Her face is a lot redder than the others. And her comb is bigger. They are all allowing turning red though. How soon after they mature could I expect to see eggs? They are 18 weeks now
I have 4 of these girls, hopefully lol but this one has a bit bigger and brighter comb than the rest. They are about 18 weeks old. I have a rooster in with them, so I'm hoping this one stays a female lol any ideas? What are saddle feathers?
I wanted to, but so far, it's looking like there really isn't anywhere out here to do that. And a vet would be $250. Yikes! I didn't feel comfortable keeping her in my fridge for an extended period of time either while I still look. However, I'm going to continue getting some info in case anyone...
Thank you so much! I got a call back from the disease center, and she said she's been doing this for 40+ years, and it sounds exactly like Marek's. The chicken is the right age, the symptoms are spot on, and I sent her a video and she pretty much confirmed. She said unfortunately the only way...
