Is it possible to over dose a chick with the Mareks vaccine? When my friend helped me learn to vaccinate I don't remember him telling me it was possible but there was a certain dosage needed to work. I do remember my chicks looking very sick after the dose. Couldn't image having to ship them anywhere.
Ask the hatchery if they had other problems with this hatch? Maybe there was a new employee that did not know proper handling.
Or we are dealing with the post office. Did they get to cold during shipping. What was the weather like when shipped. How many days to get to your chicks
As to the Welsummer I don't have any ideas except to say I've lost three of my NY HAL chicks. I'm certain they are the ones I helped. No more helping my hatch I'm afraid.
someone please make it stop. I came home from church and one of my Welsummer chicks from January that I put out with the Christmas chicks was dead with no apparent cause unless moving it scared it to death.
I love him lots. He does have a reason for having me hatch the eggs though, he had a bobcat rip through a window in his coop and he's down to three hens and one roo. He's almost finished with his new (much better) coop, so hopefully there will not be a repeat performance
