Hi everyone!
I have a small flock of Marans in Central Texas (Bell County, Belton)
Does anyone around me Vaccinate for Marek's? I have to few birds to buy a whole batch of vaccine.
they are just getting chick starter. switched them to medicated today & added a vitamin supplment to one of their water bottles. also cleaned the brooder & added some de to their sand to help with any worm issues we may have going on.
it's a very large brooder with only 1 lamp on it (built to use 2)
so they have plenty of space out from under the lamp.
they usually hang under the lamp at night but are all over the coop during the day.
All were running around eating and drinking this morning.
I have several 2/3 week old chicks. 1 died within 24 hours of arrival. Couldn't seen to walk and was not drinking.
Was gone in a few hours. Just last night I can home from work (chicks were fine in morning) to find a back copper chick yawning constantly. It could walk just fine - just yawning...
