    I so appreciate you taking the time to share this information about the vaccines. I appreciate everyone chiming in, as it's been very helpful and educational for me. It's definitely one of those situations (for me) that.... you don't know what you don't know - until you do. And so now I am...

    Thank you for taking the time to share your input and experiences, as well as advice. I had heard of Mareks now and then, but had no clue that it was so widespread and so common. Until now. I hope we have reached the "calm down" phase as I move forward in re-establishing my flock. I also...

    I meant to respond yesterday and got distracted since I was outside in the middle of more coop cleaning. I know I'll never eradicate all of the virus out there, but I will say that my coop itself is now probably the cleanest it's been since we first had it built 10 years ago! I used the virkon...

    Good morning and thank you for sharing your experience. I am sorry as well that you've been through the wringer with Mareks too. I am now "Monday Morning Quarterbacking" not showering between coop and being around my chicks. Sigh...flying on a wing and a prayer and vaccinations here!! I wish I...

    It did take some digging to find it! I wanted to see that directly on their own publication vs a distributor website saying so.

    Hi and thank you so much for your compassion! I’ll gladly read your article & am an open sponge to learn as much as I can from you and others! This is a screen shot directly from a Virkon S published list of poultry viruses it’s supposed to be effective against. I had read here at BYC that it’s...

    Hi, all. Get your coffee ready...sorry for long post. ☕ I've been a small flock backyard chicken keeper and member here for 10 years. Have always appreciated being able to use this site and your collective experiences/advice as my first go-to resource! It's been a doozy of a year. :( A year ago...

    So. CA: 2 four-month old roos... free!

    ha! right?! I would like to keep one or both, if I could... they're nice boys. I just CANT keep them (boo sad) because I'll be in violation of the permit I had to get from the City in order to have chickens at all! :)

    So. CA: 2 four-month old roos... free!

    Just *bumping* for my boyz. Having never raised cockerels to this age before, I am amazed at how quickly they grow and change. Becoming more handsome by the week! Just this am, I was watching my flock after I let them out of the coop. The BCM's green sheen is more pronounced now, and his red...

    So. CA: 2 four-month old roos... free!

    Hello, all. All 3 of my summer hatch chicks turned out to be boys. Drat ... city ordinance does not allow me to keep roosters. Boo/tears! :( Have rehomed one already. So... it's time to part ways with the last two baby roos. "Cheep cheep" (FREE) to good home with a flock of gals to call...

    yellowish spots on comb

    Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback. My feeling is that she is healing from some pecking sores, but I will pick up one of the creams you suggested and treat her with that, just in case it is the fungal infection. Again - thanks so much.
