grannys gone and done it

Wow!  get busy outside for one day and I'm 65 posts behind!
I sadly took a double hit from Marek's.  First last year, thought I finally lost everyone I was going to (didn't know at first what I was dealing with) then in early spring I lost 2 adult hens.  The one broke my heart.  She was so sweet, and a spoiled brat that loved to launch herself and surprise land on my shoulder or other parts if I was bending over.  I really thought we would grow old together.  Anyway, all I have left now are 3 18 month old Aussies that came from Cackle Hatchery w/Marek's vaccinated and one 2 1/2 yr old red sex-link.  I lost the rest of her "sisters".  They came from another hatchery that was "supposed" to vaccinate but found out too late that they had not.  Why this one made it I have no idea (it was one of these that also made it until this last spring).  I have no clue where the Marek's came from unless one of the last of my surviving original rescued hens was a carrier.  Anyway, I am now maintaining my little closed flock while I spend the winter drooling over poultry catalogs and trying to decide if I want to expand my Aussie flock or ask Santa (aka DH) to finance me for one of the more "exotic" Scandinavian breeds.

hello chickisoup. I thought maybe twist had scared you off. Sorry to hear about your flock. At least you did have three to fight it off. I've heard of it taking entire flicks down.
