If I hatch chicks under a hen that has never been vaccinated, but exposed to it on the yard I assume. I vaccinate chicks and put back under hen in private pen she should be ok herself is what I am understanding., correct? Since this Turkey vaccine will not affect other fowl.

You know that is what I decided as well with the hens I shipped from Texas is they had never been exposed. I still have about 4 more same age from same place that are perfectly healthy. I like the six weeks idea. I keep them at least 30 and sometimes longer. I have only had about six fowl total...

I bought some 1 year old + pullets from Texas and shipped them to Idaho. I have had Mareks in past and two of the three pullets contracted Mareks after I had them about six months and they were all over 18 months of age. My flock consists of a number of hen raised babies, incubator and hatchery...

To your original question....I have seen combiotic or penicillin do this even with sterile needle and solution. As far as Baytril or Bio-Myacin 200 I have not experienced any such instances and I do use injections quite a bit. ALWAYS use clean sterile needles and if you do use them on multiple...

I have seen that happen with giving horses injections with combiotic....they will sometimes get a lump for a few days. Only time I have seen it. I use Bio-Myacin 200 which has non-stinging agent to carry the antibiotic which is oxy-tetracycline and this is exact same as LA-200 except no sting...

Regarding Ideal Poultry Hatchery in Texas.....I live in Idaho and ordered 25 day old chicks and received them February 20, 2013. Very cold weather and there was 3 that were dead upon arrival. They credited me immediately for those and the other 22 all survived very well and other than a few...

Nice pics of the chicks....hope one is pullet and then breed it back to father and see what comes out....should show auto sexing I think of F2 genereation.

Hi, just saw your post, I did buy them from a nice fellow in Texas. I live in Idaho. They are almost 1/3 grown now with their crests and they are cool looking. One of the cockerels arrived dead and the other 3 are perfect. He sent me a free Rhodebar cockerel and several barred rock chicks...

I just purchased 12 chicks one day old direct from Greenfire Farms about a week ago. All chicks arrived healthy and they are so gentle and tame too. My auction reads on Rare Breeds Auction from GreenFire that this was only the 2nd batch of live chicks from their Barthuners sold ever. I also...

Burlap cloth from JoAnns Fabric store and cheap too. I roll out burlap and use it the first 3 days on newly hatched chicks and you will never have splayed legs, I have had them hatch and be splayed and within an hour they are walking fine usually. Their toe nails catch just enough to give them...

You must be excited for sure! My Cream Legbar chicks arrive Wednesday morning. 3 cockerels and 1 pullet. May I ask where you got yours from? Good luck, I can't wait for mine to show, hope they are ok as they are only a few days old.

I found it on FB under Bradley Farm located in Tacoma, Wa....I guess it was correct one as it shows baby chicks and had requests for babies as well.

Thanks for clearing this up. I am a novice at peafowl, have raised chickens for entire life, but just acquired peafowl last October. I really enjoy them, the two India Blue hens are mother and daughter. My brother raised them and I had a beautiful large India Blue male and he would like to go...

I will try and show photo of his tail, still immature he is still growing his tail which has happened in last few weeks with longer days now. The breeder I bought him from told me he was a "Red Eye" male Black Shoulder. For some reason I cannot get photo to download. You can see the red...

Thanks, that is beautiful peahen.....is that chocolate or cameo or what? Beautiful bird for sure!!!!!

The white flecks indicate he is still juvenile, will lose those in next moult and will have red eyes on his long train....all the white will be gone

He is still immature and when born they carry a LOT of white and lose the white as they moult and they are not finished moulting all juvenile feathers until age 2. This is what I have been told. This fall he will have no white and he is a "RED EYED" male by the way. When you look closely at...

Here is my 21 month old Black Shoulder male, He is still showing his juvenile colors with the white flecks which will be gone by fall when he gets his adult colors and long tail.

What breeds do the Bradley Farm have?

Thanks, to all that welcomed me as a new member! My Barnevelders hatched and I have 7 super healthy lively chicks out of the 12 I set in incubator. These came from New York to my home in Idaho with 15 total and 3 eggs were smashed and surprising that was all that was broken. Real happy for...
