This morning I found out that my VACCINATED flock has Mareks. I had a chick in March that struggled with what I thought was FTT but was confirmed MG. She didn't improve after antibiotics and I ultimately euthanized and sent out for a necropsy. Fast forward, I lost two other chickens to dogs and ordered a couple more last week.
Those 12 wk olds have not been integrated. Over the weekend one of my other original chickens got sick with strange symptoms. I called the avian vet who let me know that my original chick necropsy report was finally back with Mareks. Needless to say, the newly sick chicken indeed has Mareks and was culled. What do I now do with my new pullets that are in my garage? I did go back and forth between the flocks feeding and such. My original flock is showing no symptoms but that could always change.
