I do not. To make a long discussion short, as near as I can calculate it, Mareks prevents 1 to 2% of death from Mareks Cancer. Without the shot, 5% die of it. With the shot, 3% die from it. The inoculation does not stop them from getting Mareks, it only helps prevent the cancer from killing the chicken at 1 to 2 years old.
Most breeders are going for resistance.
Another fact, borne out from research, is that you can have mixed inoculated and not inoculated chickens in your flock. Mareks is like coci it is everywhere.
I love flat face kitties. They look super sweet.
New cats at my place get a closed room to themselves for as long as they feel like they don't want to join the rest of the family. After a while, I put up a baby gate to keep the dogs from being too curious and playful with the newcomer. It gives the newcomer an sanctuary s/he can get into quickly as well as get out when feeling more adventurous. It took Lizbeth almost two weeks before she felt comfortable enough to set up comfy spots in other parts of the house so she wasn't always dashing back to the Sanctuary. (I do love Himalayans. I miss my Smudge.)
