It's my understanding that vacination is a one time deal done with in the first 24 hours after hatch.

How do you vacinate 10 or so chicks when the feed stores only sell vacine for 1,500?

What I'd really like to know is how many strains of Mareks is there and does the vacine just cover the "most popular" strain as does the flu vacines for us humans? I can't seem to find an answer on the Internet. Does anyone out there know the answer to this?

I recently hatched 11 chicks that were bred here on my ranch. I thought it would be best to vacinate them for Mareks, however our local feed store chicken expert said not to worry about it because they would essentially pick up an immunity from their mama hen. Does any one else know about this...

a coopers hawk got my 4 month old pullet...my neighbor saw it. and 2 days ago the hawk nailed a morning dove to the ground right in front of me. the dove got aways due to the commotion i caused. it was definitely a coopers hawk.. i got a good look at it.

i love and respect all birds and wildlife. the coopers hawk is trying to survive too and i don't blame the hawk for targeting my chickens. i have taken some steps to protect my girls. one is that when they are out in their outdoor run i am feeding them their garden snacks and treats close to the...

i'm hoping my rooster would go after a hawk if the hawk had one of my girls on the ground.

this handsome guy was out running around the neighborhood. apparently an escapee from another yard. he decided he liked my hens so he moved in, but i have no idea what breed he is. any ideas? he's very flashy...but what breed?
