Hi all, I had a flock of 3 young hens, all reportedly vaccinated against Marek's. Two died in the past month, necroscopy strongly suggestive of Marek's with tumors everywhere So sad.
But, we still have one remaining hen who has (so far) been healthy. She is lonely and we want to get her a friend or two. We were thinking a vaccinated, slightly older pullet would be best given the situation. Any tips? We know Marek's disease virus lives forever in the coop and our remainder chicken, if she lives, is likely a carrier.
Thoughts?
