so i am very confused. do you really need to use the whole bottle to vax for mareks? is there some way to cut the doses? does that also apply to the fowl pox vaccine? i dont have a ton of money but i really want to start vaxing my birds for those two things since i had a lot of deaths this...
thank you everyone thats what i suspected. i know the vaccine wont work on my older birds, but if i can keep my new hatches protected then at least i wouldnt be so upset :/
i got what i thought was fowl pox running through my flock. my juveniles seemed to be most affected and had crusty bumps on the featherless areas of their face. looked like big warts. well now i am starting to lose young adults as well. i FINALLY caught one right about to die. her eyes were...
Okay wonderful to know! I was wondering in coastline had the 2011 or 2013 lines. Would that mean if I made a future order through green fire I could obtain the 2013 line as well? I haven't even gotten this chicken yet and I am already so in love lol....

i just got a side by side fridge and want to turn it into an incubator. has anyone ever done this? any tips? trying to keep it as cheap as possible, thank you.
so i have a colony of rabbits, new zealand and silver fox does and a silver fox buck. i found a nest, it had 4 brown kits in it, and 3 black kits in the same nest. the fur was all white. are these all siblings, or could this be two separate litters in the same little nest?
okay first off, i like the way you think and you are right, i dont care at all about him being a "purebred" chicken or not. i am still experimenting and figuring out what works best for me. i have raised chickens for well over a decade on and off, but nothing more than the standard tractor...
i know its not a great pic, but this is a "mottled cornish LF" i am considering buying. i just want a heavy breasted roo so when i hatch out my barnyard mix i get a bit more breast meat....well thats the hope anyway. i have not been able to find information on a mottled cornish, and to me his...
