I'm not saying not to just what I do. Everybody does what's best for themselves and their situation

So true... It's the same with peoples health. What works for me might not work for someone else.

Yeah, that’s true. I actually missed the vaccine bit in yours, think I read it before the edit. I do think there is something to be said for letting them die off, sad as it is, and only keeping the strongest birds, but I didn’t know any better when I got my first chickens 4 years ago and didn’t read about vaccines making more deadly strains of some diseases till way after I had done it. Also I’m not breeding mine so I guess I wanted to protect them as much as possible. But I do think if I ever start over or decide to breed I’ll avoid vaccinating and also avoid medicated feed. I find views can change too and mine definitely have because when I first did it I didn’t know better but now realize I made a mistake and wish I hadn’t done it. But then again I may have lost a lot of birds if I hadn’t since we live in the woods near tons of wild birds so idk.

Yeah exactly

 

[FortCluck]

Yeah exactly

My property had birds before with zero disease, I'd be more cautious if the previous owners told me about some sort of disease they encountered.

I bought medicated chick feed for the first time because it was on sale. I'm just feeding one 25 lb bag then switching to regular grower feed.

They dont die off lol
They dont get sick

That's a problem in and of itself. People think if they dont vaccinate they're whole flock will die.

I am going to figure this out but this is enough for now.

I am a beginner crocheter. I know the basics. I've made a couple beanies (hats) for adults, a beret type hat for my sister, a couple scarfs, a couple froo-froo decorative scarfs. Have started a bunch of projects that I've never finished. I have a few books and so much yarn. There were classes that you could sign up for at a Michael's with an instructor and that is how I learned. It amazes me what some people can make. There are TONS of tutorials and project crochet-alongs out there. I like them because you can pause it and rewind as much as you need to and go at your own pace.

I've never vaccinated my chickens so I wouldn't know the difference with a vaccinated flock or not
