Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Can you not just buy vaccinated fertile eggs? If so, get them vaccinated for the other killers that have reliable vaccines which I think includes mycoplasma and a couple of others.

You vaccinate them after they have started to develop. 18 days seems to be the point.

That made everyone here stop and listen. Then once you started singing they all went back about their scratching. I think they recognize your voice now!

Awwww either they are ignoring me, or they are comforted… don’t tell me which one!

This seems like overkill for Fluffy Butt Acres.

And this is the compact system.

Sorry, I though you had...didn't mean to mis-quote.

I know that the hatcheries day they are. If that helps you to make your point.

Hope it is nothing too serious and that all goes well!

Vaccinated Fertile Eggs

So I went out searching for fertile eggs which had been vaccinated for Marek's disease. I have learned that the optimal timing for in ovo vaccination is at 18.5 days of embryo development. You need to use a specific machine to do the vaccination.

I will be researching the cost of said machine to see if it is even feasible for us to try. This could be quite the science experiment. I also have to see how difficult it is to use said machine.

More to come......

Thanks @Ribh for the push.

I seem to have missed something here, but I get the gist, you’re going to hatch some eggs, and you have the perfect broody!

Not sure the context of the Mareks I seemed t have missed this somewhere along the line. But you will be researching vaccinations for the embryo - very interesting!

Tax on missing pertinent info
Sophia snuck into the feed room and settled in while I was uploading that squawking video. I saw her sitting there when I went to feed horses

Battle at the Top
I suppose this was inevitable. I may have spoken too soon.

Well I think we have learned who leads the Rascals. Little Glynda just attacked Aurora. there was a pause and I was able to get the camera running and grabbed the finale. Rest assured, Glynda started it. it seems that Aurora ended it.

Right after I stopped filming, Glynda looked at Hattie wrong and got stood on for her troubles.

Aurora is still squawking mad because she was challenged. She took that out on Hattie a few minutes ago. Aurora is walking around the yard squawking still.

Love how Lady F came to her rescue!

@Ribh @RoyalChick I have updated the video. I think it works now.

It does
