Is Mareks transferable through eggs too?

Mareks is only thru dander im pretty sure.

I dont have any vaccination experience sorry guys.

Do any of you guys worry about disease coming in from bought eggs? Does that even happen?
I'd like to add some welsummers and a few white egger to my flock, as well as adding some new blood.
I want my broodies to hatch and raise them. I just don't have time to incubate and raise them myself.
I know some people I can get eggs from but I'm not impressed with their setup.

Don't get them then.
There are diseases transmitted through eggs too.

I have mixed vaccinated hatchery (TSC) chicks in with my hatched- at -home-never-vaccinated chicks . So far I haven't had a problem.
I'm probably going to bring in some local eggs for my broodies next spring. Crossed fingers.

I found another source that looks pretty nice. They just dont have welsummers. They have bcm though.

I may try chick adoption this year too....sneak some hatchery welsummers into a nest. Lol

You guys are making me paranoid... Should I not hatch that other farms eggs with mine. My chicks are so damn cute!!!! I don't want anything happening to them!

Hahahaha I should get blinders to hide from this thread till mine are big and grown

I don't worry about it much. As long as the parent stock looks healthy, or, if it's a hatchery, has a good reputation, I'll order the eggs.

That’s good to know, thanks.

And it’s okay, I just remember reading an article about it a while ago but it may have been wrong. It wasn’t on BYC, I forget where I read it.

Now you’re making me paranoid.

This is good to know!! Thank you!!

Although... are all hatchery chicks vaccinated? Mine I had to choose the option at check out and pay extra for it but maybe that’s cause it was online?

Sorry if this is a stupid question haha

I think Meyer has welsummer hatching eggs as well as chicks but I think the eggs are sold out atm. They’re sold out of everything except the assortment.

Good idea!! Lol do it.

Thanks. This is good to know. This is what I want to do but it’s just I had read an article that said they would for sure die if mixed.

Oh, the vaccine thing? I have no input on that. I've never gotten vaccinated birds.

The flock I saw looked healthy at that farm. Hopefully there aren't sick birds elsewhere I don't want my cute little fluffsto die. My flock is super healthy.
