I know it’s a slow and patient process but I just don’t ever see it working out. My 21week white star (who has not started laying eggs yet) and my 18 month Warren do not get on at all. I have to have another chicken as I only had one before my white star because the previous one had died. My...

Great, I will be doing this weekend thankyou

Hey. I’ve had my white star for 2 days now and let’s just say it’s not going as expected! I knew white stars were flighty but didn’t expect her to be so afraid of everything too. Of course she’s unsure because she’s moved somewhere new. She’s 20 weeks and should come into lay soon. I have 1...

Thankyou so much, this is very helpful. I am keeping a very close eye on my hen and as days pass am growing surer that it was not Marek disease as theres so many things that It could have been. I have questioned my local hatchery and they have assured me that the vaccine should successfully...

Hey everyone, I’m in a bit of a pickle! I had 2 vaccinated Warren chickens, sisters, POL. Had them for 18 months, lovely with no issues. One of them suddenly became very ill, random symptoms but the vet said they thought it was Marek’s disease and my chicken was put down. I had been quarantining...
