The grandious expectations of Chickens in your backyard

I did not know that! I've got immunity running through nearly every day that is just wonderful.

Yes. Turkeys, both wild and domestic carry a less lethal strain of Marek's dz.

I can’t have cockerels/roosters in my town so I am unable to keep a sustainable closed flock. When I started my obsession with chickens I didn’t quarantine, thank God nothing ever happened, but I am quarantining from now on

The Babies I talked about were not from the eggs my girls laid. We don't have a rooster so we bought a dozen of fertilized eggs and "Buffy" our buff Cornish sat & hatched them. Plus she is a fantastic mother you see her out in the back with 5 chicks showing them what to eat, where to hide, etc... :So Cute".
