Is a necropsy an option for your hen that just passed? You can keep them in the fridge a while, until you take it somewhere.Thank you for your response and encouragement.. I was under the impression if I get more chicks from TS I should try to get ones that had been vaccinated? Should i just take my chances? Is trying to hatching my own a better way to go? What do you think will happen with these 4 young chicks?
I would suggest reading about the Marek’s vaccine on this group. Use the search function and read up on it a bit. My chickens that died were vaccinated, their symptoms were just hidden for a while, until they weren’t. It’s a personal choice but I suggest you be better informed to make that decision.
I would assume the chicks have been exposed, personally. Both viruses travel through dust and dander, so escaping it would be difficult. I’d move forward as previously planned, personally, praying everything worked out ok for them. It very may well! None of this is a sure thing, even if they were vaccinated.
Praying you feel peace in whatever next steps you decide to take! Hugs!!
