Thanks Mary, my 3 pullets are the basis for my future flock. If I vaccinate my Bielefelder for Mareks then my whole flock is protected. After a year or two of laying I hope to hatch my own chicks which means I will be vaccinating them myself.
I have 3 hens, a Bielefelder who was not vaccinated for Mareks and a Welsummer and DCM that were. There are other chickens in the neighborhood so I guess my Bielefelder is at risk. Can't see vaccinating one chicken but I'll post an update if I get burned.
Hi, new member here. Moved to Hawaii in December. 50 years ago I raised Banties on the farm. Haven't been able to stop and smell the roses (or chickens) since. When my company offered me an early out I decided it was time to slow down and enjoy life. Read about a lot of great breeds on this...
