Can anyone tell me the sex of these turkey poults? The larger one is from a different farm and is older. Sorry for the really crappy, blurry picture. :(
I have 3 bottles of the vaccine on hand now. I'm hoping I can just vaccinate every 3-4 days. I think that should get them all. I was just worried about stringing it out till they were 3-4 days old instead of 1 day old.
Is there anywhere else that still has the vaccine for sale for $10 vs the...
Ok y'all. I have chicks hatching but they are "trickling in". Jeffers Mareks vaccine is now $19.95 (I could swear it was just $9.95 a couple of weeks ago!) so I kinda hate to use up a bottle every day to vaccinate just 4 or 5 chicks.. How long can they stay in the incubator? Can I put a little...
I got two turkeys yesterday! They are in the run but are too big to get through the coop door. :-/ I also have two babies that I put with the chicks at the barn, so hopefully this will all help. The vet from the state poultry lab came by yesterday and picked up the blue rooster (in the...
Hi there! I'm in Bolingbroke, between Macon and Forsyth. I have wayyyy too many animals, adding in turkeys to the mix now (to help with Mareks). Right now we have silkies, polish, a frizzle polish chick with wry neck (dangit), blue and black copper marans, one Easter egger and a pair of black...
Wow. That would be so awesome! It has been SOOO wet and rainy here, maybe my feed has gotten a bit damp or something. I'll definitely give that a try. Thanks!
Well, I found two turkeys today but they are only a few days old. I had the people meet me with them so I wouldn't bring my "marek funk" on their farm. I put the little poults at the barn with the younger flock, in a separate pen because they are a good bit smaller that my chicks. I'm trying...
But y'all don't think I should vaccinate the young chicks that are at my barn, right? It's really too late for that? I have some of the vaccine here now and could do it. But I guess even then I wouldn't know if the mareks disease or the vaccine got in their system first so I still won't be...
Yes, I've definitely figured out that from now on its either hatchery vaccinated birds or hatching eggs here to vaccinate myself. I have 2 incubators full right now. My "newest" problem is that I have some 3 - 6 week old chicks in quarantine at our barn now that haven't been immunized, so the...
Thank you both so much. In really appreciate your help. I have already contacted the state vet Friday afternoon when I discovered the second roo was down. I left him a voicemail so hopefully I'll hear back tomorrow. He lives just a few miles away from me - about the only positive in this whole...
