    Should I Vaccinate?

    Hi all! I am bringing 2-3 hens to fair in August to show and I was wondering if I need to vaccinate. This is my first time doing fair. If you think I should get them vaccinated, what should they be vaccinated for? I mostly though Mareks because of how it spreads when there are a lot of birds...

    Hi all! My Welsummer, Lucille, is, I’m guessing, between 35-37 weeks of age.

The other hen is a Golden Spangled...
