Can Marek's Vaccinated Chickens Be Shown?

[FlCountryGirl]

I was reading up on the Marek's vaccine and saw that after a 10 day quarantine it does not shed a live virus. Does that mean later on I can show my pullets? I was wondering as to whether there are any regulations against this. I plan on raising chicks to show for my local fair. Please let me know as I have a few weeks until the chicks are hatched and I would like to change my order if need be before then

I do not know of any rules against showing Mareks vaccinated chicks when they are adults.

I haven't heard of any either but I want to make sure.

You're fine but I'd recommend against vaccinating anyway. Do a search here for "breeding for resistance"

Will do. Thanks for the input
