Sorry to say, but once you have it is almost impossible to get reed of it! No cure, the one that survived will stay as carrier that infect any new chickens, the virus can stay in the are fir years! You cant disinfect everything! What should you do:

0. You should cull any infected bird.

1. You should practice a restrict biosecurity policy.

2. You should, if you can, practice the method if " all in all out" when you change your flock. Do you know the basics of an effective quarantine? ( the rule of "40:40"?)

3. You should vaccinate your new chicks.

4. There is breed that are naturally mor resistant to MD like the Fayoumi, you can choose them.

[COLOR=0000FF]5. You should raise,if you can one turkey with your chicken, the turkeys have a virus

Related to the MDV that don't infect chickens but do make a cross vaccination to MDV in chickens( it is the virus that his used in the vaccination!)[/COLOR]


Good luck

Benny, Do you know how much contact is needed? Close contact or if they shared a field. If wild turkeys use my pasture the chickens use, could they be getting some protection? 

Thank You, 
Mike

Hi Mike it dosn't need a very close contact!. I can esume that wild turky can give the needed protection
! But you should remeber that wild birds, especially pigons and doves are a sorce of pathogens to you chicken!
Be carful!

I have turkeys and Marek's, so I'm pretty sure it won't make much of a difference.

One case dosn't indicate for the general!
There are vaccinated birds( or humans) that get the disease, and you dont say I hope, that vaccines don't make much of a difference!

I'm all for vaccinating chicks and would never suggest otherwise. As for it being one case, I know someone else that has tons of turkeys, and that person also loses many to Marek's.

About the stuck eggs last night- 2 came off, just stuck from dirt and poop on eggs, 3rd one I noticed a small crack on, and I barely touched it when it exploded. Had so much fun last night with egg yolk on my bed and floor, and cleaning all the other eggs and the auto turner.

Even if I had neighbors close enough to see anything, I wouldn't give a rat's butt.  When the neighbors start paying my real estate taxes they get a vote!

I'm with you on that!!!
