Sally,

I was considering buying birds from a very well known breeder in New York, but I turned them down because this breeder vaccinates his birds for laryngotracheitis.

Many people recommend vaccinating for it (especially show birds) but it's a live virus vaccine so once your birds are vaccinated, they will become carriers and shed the disease throughout their lives. This is especially true of the CEO (chicken embryo origin) version of the laryngotracheitis vaccine. Some claim that the TCO (tissue culture origin) version of the vaccine won't cause birds to become carriers, but I talked to a couple of different poultry vets who have researched this vaccine and they said that both vaccines will cause birds to shed the disease.

I don't want to vaccinate my flock for this because it will limit my sales to others who have also vaccinated. However, I would like to get my hands on the recombinant vaccine that rbaker was talking about for Mareks and LT. This particular one doesn't cause birds to become carriers.

After I decided not to buy birds from this breeder, I talked to some people who have. For some people everything went fine, but for others, they lost the majority of their flocks due to the new vaccinated birds shedding the disease (lost $1,000's worth of birds). I'm glad I decided against buying them.

awesome information, he didnt explain any of that! interesting!

Coch trying to find info on the TCO but not finding

There is a need for a new protective and safe LT vaccine without the limitations of the conventional live vaccines.
It is the reason why Ceva, a leader in poultry vaccines, has developed a new approach to LT vaccination with a vectored vaccine: Vectormune

Hello, hatchers! I have a question. I know I should know the answer, but I have forgotten and ... Well, here it is.
The neighbor took five BCM eggs to hatch last month. I knew they didn't hatch, and didn't want details. Unfortunately, she shared today. All made it to the final week, and died. She said they all still had their yolk sacks. What caused this?

First of all before I go paste info, of course the yolk sacks are still attached, they dont absorb until after the first pip and then they hatch. brb gonna paste

I'm going to research this vaccine when I get the time. Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoyed the video. The concept is easier to understand with pictures.

I would love your young fresh brain to research it!! I heard his horror stories, and by way of spread it sounds like a discusting and common illness, if we can vaccinate against it all for the better!

Thanks, Sally. I should have just gone to your signature to begin with. I was being lazy.

And I do remember that the yolk is absorbed last. The other info I thought I included, I didn't. That is what I get for trying to type while paying attention to a movie.
It looks like they drowned. She said something about adding water, but I was busy then too. This is not a multitasking day for me.
Good bye again to all. Nice to know this thread is still going strong for people like me to pop in with a question periodically!
