    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...

    ...at this point, but I am trying to do my best to greatly reduce the viral load outside before I graduate my chicks to the coop with my adult. **Curious your thoughts about the next steps I plan to take: I am going to wash and scrub every coop surface I can physically get to with a solution...

    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! :)

    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...

    I don't know if you're still on the forum, but I just now realized you had commented about my avatar! Yes, that was a picture of my GSD when he was just a puppy. He lived to be almost 14 years of age before we lost him peacefully in his sleep. <3 I have always loved this pic of him, though!

    ...tame they will quiet when held. They free range the yard with my girls every day. Will also come into the coop when called with treats (or at dusk, whichever comes first). Let me know if you have any questions. *I'm in the "Inland Empire" area of So. CA BCM BSEE Both boyz together

    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.
