-Hey all, I am planning on ordering some vaccinated 4-9 week old pullets next month, but my current flock (and pretty much my entire property) has marek's. Will the vaccinated pullets be mostly safe from the bad symptoms/death that my unvaxxed hens experience? I know it has a 90 percent success rate and I do expect to maybe lose one or two, I just want to know there is hope to have chickies that live a decently long life. Marek's has really taken some of the joy out of having chickens, and it's never easy to see the next girl waste away or become paralyzed. What are y'all's experience with adding vaccinated chickens to marek's positive flocks, how many did you lose if any, and how effective was the vaccine in preventing them from getting sick and dying?
thank you!
