Is there anything you can do to help the severity while they are young? I too am seeing them in Silkies. Both of mine were hatched from quality chicken breeders, so hoping it wasn’t a known genetic breeding. I’m finding homes for mine as I do not want it in my line of chickens.
My phone must have autocorrected me when I typed Stromberg. Therefore, the post should have been Stromberg, not Strindberg. I wondered why I had a recommendation for ordering from Stromberg. Has ANYONE ordered from Stromberg??????
I’d like to understand your logic on this because if your birds have not been exposed to the virus then the vaccine will do it job regardless of your chicken being 1 day old or 1 year old. For instance you hatched some chicks and you have kept them inside and away from wild birds, animals, or...
Yes, but have you had experience buying from them? They say that they will not guarantee the vaccine will be cold if you do not purchase the 1 day shipping (which is $104). I don’t mind paying $50 in shipping but $100 is a little assessive. I was wonder how they pack the vaccine as a couple ice...
Hey y’all! Valley Vet has been on back order for quite awhile now and j need to get some chicks vaccinated and out of my basement. I don’t want to move them out to risk exposure. Sounds like ValleyVet may get some in on the 15th, but that’s still a week post vaccinating before I can move them...
So the Marek’s vaccine has been on back order at Valley vet FOREVER now. Has anyone ordered from Stromberg before? It sounds like they don’t pack their vaccine well or if you don’t get the $105 shipping they won’t guarantee it. Does anyone know any other places to buy the vaccine..affordable? I...
Cathy- I’m having the same problem. Valley vet has been on back order forever!!! I am just keeping my chicks inside basement until I can get it. The vaccine doesn’t have to be given in 1 day old chicks just can’t be exposed
I’m pretty sure on parent was a purebred silkie as that was what I was suppose to get. I think that a “milkman” rooster must have gotten into the enclosure, resulting in this guy. I guess the real question is, what do you think he’s mixed with? Silkie x (??????)
I hatched this guy from some eggs that were supposed to be silkies (with chance of frizzle/sizzles/and showgirls) off of eBay. He (which I’m assuming he is since the colors have started to show up) is the only chicken with normal feathers. He was hatched all black but has recently started to get...
I’ve seen were people have fashioned gutters made from pvc pipes that will drain into a water barrel and used later to water the chickens. I’m Giving it a go and let y’all know how it works!
I thought about that but it’s got windows on all 4 sides and I’ll be adding a base to it with vents to add a cleaning drawer that can easily be pulled out for cleaning.
I’m in Kansas and our winters Can get pretty cold. I’m converting a free playhouse into a roost for a couple roosters. Have either of you tried foam insulation? I bought some cans and thought I’d try it out. I can’t find anything on anybody else trying it so wonder if you have read/ watched...
