Cayuga eggs should be black, or almost black. If it's green it's ancona

So green! This is next to some of today's chicken eggs! Definitely green and Ancona for sure!

Overwhelmed here also. Have to get ready for winter, no wood cut. Supposed to get in low 40s at night for now on. Trying to get our propane fire place hooked up so I don't have to fire up wood boiler.
Had to put chicken tractor/coop on hold, been sick for days...Think the chickens gave me mareks or parvo. Haven't had a beer in days :-(
Only good news is no other chickens have got sick yet, maybe it isn't meraks, they sure did look and act it though...

I understand. I am sure the tylan 50 and special feed helped with their sniffles. I am not sure what all caused a couple of runs NOT even next toneachnother to develope a sniffle. Some people would not have caught a chicken with a sniffle. During all that I caught a very bad cold and was taking Nyquil and dayquil night and day. Halls cough drops too. Then decided to give it all up and had a big( beer mug sized) good and strong Captain Morgans spiced Rum and coke with lime. Maybe the lime did the trick? Feeling better. Lost some expensive Chickens to predators recently.
The sniffle sickness they had was scary and I was worrie buybthe sniffle went awayband it stopped and all is well except fornthose predators keep on coming. I lock them all up and and after the scare passes we let them loose again. But then xomes terror and we lock them up again. Awful dreadful predators. I still Dont know what that sniffle was but glad it is gone now.
My understanding is mereks is QUICK certain death. I may be wrong.
O know I will be careful not to mix thise with vaccines with those without vaccines.
The PBS article and video sure put the scare in me. I realize it is not perfect science yet nor perfect vaccine. That is what is so scarry because if one gets it it will rapidly kill them all off and mine when loose run in and out of each others pens. I even read that even vaccinated chicks an get it. WOW?!
