chicken sling questions

Is Taco a golden campine? She is pretty. Again, I hope this is not Mareks, but here is a good article that has a lot of info:

Thanks! She is a Sicilian buttercup and just the sweetest little thing! She has always been the one that loves to be held and snuggled.

Oh yes, Sicilian buttercups look very much like golden campines. I can’t tell them apart. I got mine at Meyer hatchery. Mareks vaccines take at least 2 weeks to protect, and provide immunity, so if there were a lot of chickens in your area, it might be more common there.

The link for RAL is for collecting blood at home while the chicken is alive to do a PCR test, which the best test. It costs $20 initially and they send the collection equipment, and tubes, and you send it back for the test. My friend said it cost $38 for the total from Colorado to Texas. Let us know if you do that since we are all learning here.

These are my first chicks. I got them from a feed store here, not sure where they get them from but they are vaccinated. They were inside in the brooder for 6 weeks. They have only been out in the coop for 2 weeks. This started about a week after being out

sorry I am just seeing this. She ended up passing. No clue what it was. She was only 9 weeks when she passed. My other 9 have all been fine.
