I do not think A & M tests for Marek's.
I can not find any such test on their site.

I did find this:

And (This is a great read)

Are these people's names?
Their line of bird?

What is the place that does the Marek's blood test? We are going to try that.

I have emailed these people to inquire about how they go about testing for Marek's and I have not gotten a response.

Gosh I remember reading something about testing for Marek's has something to do with them testing vaccinated birds and they are able to tell if the bird has the vaccine or another form of Marek's...something like that...and I can't find it now.
I'll keep looking.

The father was a Matt whirls and the mom was a Ray Alexander yes their bloodline. Crossing 2 different families of the same breed creates vigor (refreshes). She's still pure bred just by 2 different families. Eventhough I called it crossing. Breeding 2 families of the same breed some consider crossing (which I do ) and some don't it really depends how deep you're into it.


Like this lil fella here. He is the product of years of breeding to produce him. I had his father and it was thought he was the last of his blood that we knew of so I wanted to get a few stags off him. So I bred him (dad) to a kelso hen the offspring I bred a pullet back to her dad (line bred) to produce another pullet (a couple actually) culled the rest bred her back to her grandfather again and now have him. The reason for breeding back straight to their father and grandfather is outbreeding or outcrossing the mother's blood so the stag here pictured is about 7/8 cardinal club kelso and 1/8 unknown family kelso. The plan is to get a cardinal club kelso hen to breed to him to tighten the cardinal club blood

Fancy dinner date.. dessert... Kiki I'm dying

Don't know how you don't know in this age of information and/or how no one in your school has told you but then again I didn't know some stuff until middle school but let's just put it this way....

The song Cake By The Ocean is not about cake....

Also... might get in trouble with this one but... why would one need or take birth control? (Besides if you need it for hormone regulation or whatever)
