Introducing chicken into Marek’s contaminated flock

Welcome to BYC! It's nice to meet you!

Welcome to BYC. If no one else is willing to take him you might as well give him a chance. Hopefully he will survive and have a happy life with his new flock.

I am going to wait and see if anyone else will take him before I do. It’s not looking like it though but I have like a month before they need him gone.

Hi, if you take him in, I hope you'll keep us posted on how he does. Best wishes.

I will! Here is a photo of him. He looks really strong and healthy right now. I am still on the fence about what is best for him. He lives with Guinea Fowl right now as his old flock has too many roosters and he gets picked on. I just wonder if it’s worth the risk to give him his own flock to protect while risking Mareks.

Well, if in a month and nobody took him, and he was getting culled, maybe then it would be a no-brainer. He might live out his days with you just fine. If he got Marek's, then you may wind up putting him down yourself, but at least he got to live a good life for a while longer.

What a beauty!
