    Marek's! Can my broody ever hatch again?

    I've read the big thread on Marek's. I'm nearly 100% sure I have ocular Marek's in my flock. Two out of 13 birds are blind in one eye but otherwise doing fine. I know if I ever get more hatchery peeps they have to be vaccinated & separated while the immunity develops. What I haven't been able...

    When can they go outside with mama hen?

    I have five peeps that are a week old. They're in the brooder in the garage with mama hen. It's gorgeous weather out and I can't wait to see the little ones out in the grass. Pretty sure mama is dying to get out too. How long until they're less susceptible to coccidia? They're not vaccinated...

    First time broody... Day 23! Help!

    Hi all, I have a broody (my first) sitting on six eggs (her first). She's been doing fantastic the whole time. So much so that I've had to pull her off the nest to eat/drink/poop. I'm afraid that by doing that 1x/day the last few days, I let the humidity get too low for the eggs at a critical...
