    Baytril tablets dosage in water

    Hey all I need help, our young silver hamburg pullet has a bad respiratory infection, and I have Baytril tablets on hand, halved. How many tablets per gallon of water would be the correct dosage for a less than 1 lb chicken? (she is very tiny)

    Mareks Vaccine

    In early May I ordered 8 4-6 week old Juveniles from a hatchery who had been Marek's vaccinated at hatch. Our property is full of Marek's disease, so I figured ordering older ones would be better since they'd have time to build immunity before coming to my property. Well, I've had them for a...

    Adding vaccinated juveniles to marek's positive flock

    -Hey all, I am planning on ordering some vaccinated 4-9 week old pullets next month, but my current flock (and pretty much my entire property) has marek's. Will the vaccinated pullets be mostly safe from the bad symptoms/death that my unvaxxed hens experience? I know it has a 90 percent success...

    Duck Plague vaccine

    Hey all, I am getting my first ducklings next week, and I've been doing a lot of research. One disease that scares me is duck plague or duck viral entertitis. I am not sure how common it is in small duck flocks, and most hatcheries do not have an option to vaccinate them before sending, in fact...

    Marek's booster?

    I know how you feel, I am sorry about your losses. I too have Marek's in my flock, just lost another hen a few days ago. :( I am ordering vaccinated juveniles in april from McMurray, they will be between 4 an 9 weeks old, hopefully by then they will have built up a good immunity to the deadly...

    When to start ducklings?

    Thanks that does help! :) In that case I'll plan on ordering mid March. They should be 8 weeks by early may which during that time it's getting warmer here. Also is a snap set kiddie pool a good brooder for them? At least till they get big

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    thank you for this, I have Marek's too, though it's not as virulent a strain I think. I was worried I'd never have normal chickens again but this gives me hope that I can order vaxxed chickens and get back to some normalcy.
