Unfortunately this hen did not make it. I am sure the Marek's got her. I thought maybe I was wrong but s couple days later she was dying. Surprised it took this long to kill her. She was 9 mos old and vaccinated. I will keep a watch out for the rest.
I had a vaccinated silkie that never got sick and one other hen that never had been ill but not vaccinated. Wondering too if it is a mild case with the Amerucana but I did not think it was possible without killing the hen. It ruthlessly killed hens very quickly around laying age except one other...
I am in California and have seramas. Hatching s new batch due in a week or two but local pickup only. Frizzle roo smooth hens. Price is negotiable. I only send out vaccinated chicks for Marek's and do not send them until a week old. They are too small and fragile for me to send out. $7 -$10 a...
Well she is looking better. Probably injury or some kind of vitamen issue. Changed feed back to a mix i typically use made locally. Maybe there was a pesticide or something on fruit i threw out to them..who knows. It seems neurologic since her balance was off. And she isnt laying much. Marek's...
I have had seramas just about a year now and started with s few babies and hatching eggs. I have hatched various breeds about 10 times. But mostly silkie and seramas. Even with the local eggs I only hatched 2. The larger eggs are much more forgiving of the low humidity and I had little issue...
I have electrolytes so I will add it. Is is only very noticable if she gets knocked over and I then put her back or her feet. She definately has trouble with balanced. I almost thought to take her for a nercropsy to see as I thought she would die soon anyways but it has been about a week without...
I have 5 full sized hens with her with 5 silkies and 6 seramas in a 7 x 15 coop. They do free range some. The seramas and silkies are out every day becaue they do not do as much damage as the big girls. She is one f the more dominant hens typically. No illness to speak of. They get layer mix and...
This is her. She is eating and walking around. Not like the other hens that had Mareks. Been going on about a week. If she topples over I have found her twice on her back. I noticed she walks carefully and cannot run.
Last year I lost almost my entire flock to Marek's (nercropy confirmed) So I vaccinated everything and hatched myself and kept them indoors or in the garage for 6 weeks plus. Everyone has been fine 9 mos later. However my amerucana hen I found stuck last week under a ladder and ever since seems...
It is one of the yellow off brands similar to the Janoel. I got 7 out of 7 hatch rate. I do have to keep a blanket on it however. Shipped eggs have been a gamble so my rates are not as good on those. I found the little eggs need a little higher huimidity or they have a rough time hatching out on...
Hi just me 2 cents hatching serama eggs in a incubator. I am currently getting 100% hatch rate in my cheap Chinese incubator. While some hatch dry and with full sized eggs it seems to work well my experience in dry California is a little more humidity with the small eggs really helps these guys...
