FYI: The cheapest Mareks vaccine I have found is from Valley Vet and with shipping is about $60

I am getting mine from Jeffers.

Am I crazy or is this an internal pip on day 17? Polish egg.

Not crazy I think that's an internal pip!

I think so too! I just posted a thread after looking at some other posts for advice. I’m wondering if I should set up for lockdown tonight and pull out the turner. I feel like I should.

I feel like you should too. If that egg is internal pipped then you most likely have an early bird!

They were all moving so much tonight too even the jersey giants which I assumed would be slower going since they are big eggs. I knew bantams could be early but I’m pretty sure my Polish are standard…now I have to double check ha

Reading ahead I see you kind of have your answer, which either way I didn’t know the answer to this, but this is REALLY cool to see!

It is! Now I’m in panic mode pulling egg turner and plugging in my brooder plate even though I assume it will be awhile….I just like to be extra prepared haha. I just really didn’t expect it at day 17 seems so early!

Would you look at what a mess these babies made!!!

Those jars were JUST filled this morning! In less than 8 hours, they (26 of them) managed to scratch everything out of those jars. That's a half-gallon of feed! Wow. Tomorrow I'll try to salvage what I can of it, and they're getting a trough feeder instead - a week early. They're one week old today.
