    Weird Sickness

    They were vaccinated at hatchery before shipment for Mareks and I dont think Mareks would be so random would it? Wouldnt it go through and wipe out entire flock rather than randomly take a bird throughout the months and years?

    Weird Sickness

    Most recent death was 4 month old pullet. Appeared normal that morning when I let her out of coop and by afternoon I found her laying on her side unable to use her legs. This has been going on for 3 years now.

    feeding pullets

    My flock is 11 weeks old (30 hens). I still have them on chick starter and they are free ranging all day. How much chick feed do they need at this stage? They seem hungry at night when its time to go in coop. How much will they require when they move on to layer pellets?

    My 20 chicks will arrive on the 20th. They will be inoculated at the hatchery before shipping. Do I still need to feed medicated chick started.
