    Same in Bulgaria. Only hatcheries use vaccines. I think Marek is everywhere and over the years my flock has been affected. I never gave vaccines. What I am seeing now is the following: My core flock, from my own eggs are Marek resistant. When I buy eggs from elsewhere and I hatch them (on a...

    So do you in Europe have this compulsory numbering on the eggs they sell in the stores? 0 to 3, where 0 is bio, free range and 3 is cage..?

    @PouleChick I was in South France (Marseille area) in October last year. Looked for eggs, couldn't find and ended up buying Poux Protect, Anti Poux and Oxi Poule. Any opinion on these? I haven't used them yet. I have been looking for a bio de-warming agent to put in the water. In Bulgaria we...

    "Humane" way of culling chicken?

    That all makes sense... So maybe I should try dissolving the melatonin in water and giving them to drink it.

    "Humane" way of culling chicken?

    How do you administer nitrogen to 1 chicken? And do you think they sell it somewhere?

    "Humane" way of culling chicken?

    I have been experimenting with human sleeping pills and then cull. Most contain melatonin which is harmless to human, but they don't work at all with chicken.. So I am experimenting with others now....

    YES! Will definitely meet :) As for Dimitrovgrad market - the last time when I was there was poultry poor. Mainly pigeons, bantams and Indian peacocks. Even they were not many. I am keeping an eye on some Bulgarian Facebook groups and I'll let you know if we have some shows/exhibitions.

    Solar heated base for chicken waterer

    Hi.. I just posted a comment in the other thread. I shop from aliexpress and there are different heaters there. Buy a 12v heater, no need for inverter. I have clocks on my heaters, and they only heat the waterers and the feeders during the day when chicken are awake. So I don't need a battery...
