So, I am wondering about marek's vaccinations...any opinions??

If you do vaccinate for mareks, do it at day old and make sure you vaccinate all of your birds. I've also read that a clinical study was done and since the mareks vaccination used on chickens is derived from turkeys that if you put recently vaccinated chicks in with turkey poults, the vaccination sticks better. It is not 100% effective, but it does prevent infection in some cases. In areas where mareks is really prevalent, that can mean saving some birds lives. However, there are some risks with it as well.

I got told last night that 28 LF pens and 14 Bantam pens was more then enough... So I am going to have to go through all my chicks/adults and decide what I am keeping and what I am not going to keep. DH is still planning to take over 6 pens with game birds. Going to be a hard choice.
So far we have made the choice to turn the EE's out into the eating egg flock. Our Am's will go out there too. I am selling the barred EE's and the blue wheaten Am's. (The Pumpkin Barred guys have not layed one egg in months now..or they are eating eggs.) I think I only owe one person eggs from those guys, if you claimed a swap of them, I did not write it down, please PM me and let me know. I will figure something out to make you an offer.

I am either getting rid of the LCO's or the LLO's. Not going to have room to continue the project on the LLO's. I am keeping them until I finish filling swaps on them.
A friend of ours offered me 100.00 for the trio of palomino brahma juveniles. I am still trying to figure out how you politely say "not a chance in hades"....
If your seriously interested in any of these birds, let me know. I will see if they can be shipped and how much it would be. But I won't sell them until swaps/orders are filled

If I was you I would list them on RareBreed Auctions. You will get a good amount out of them and it will help pay you chicken feed bill for awhile. That should make hubby happy and you happy.

I am also trying to go to the more rare breeds and better layers. Tired of the lazy layers here.

Muhhhha! My husband looked wary when I told him I wanted to set up 6 breeding pens..... He'd have a coronary at 28 + 14. Yay for awesome spouses!

We only have one coop now (and the Quarantine tiny coop) and my husband is frowning at me about building more...He doesn't have any idea! I did a spreadsheet of what I want to keep from all my swapping and he's gonna be shocked...
