I can see why "crele" is your favorite. Really awesome! Are you getting some?? I imagine they are hard to come by?

I am not aware of any being in this country, and with my current Mareks issue I am not sinking the $$ to import

Did you get all of your poultry vaccinated?? I know it doesn't help the older ones but hoped it would help the fairly young ones. If you get hatching eggs and then vaccinate them immediatley before exposing them to any dander on you or equipment...you can get others in the future...from what I understand.
It was heartbreaking to read your posts.

Marek’s Transmission and Epidemiology:
The disease is highly contagious and readily transmitted among chickens. The virus matures into a fully infective, enveloped form in the epithelium of the feather follicle, from which it is released into the environment. It may survive for months in poultry house litter or dust. Dust or dander from infected chickens is particularly effective in transmission. Once the virus is introduced into a chicken flock, regardless of vaccination status, infection spreads quickly from bird to bird. Infected chickens continue to be carriers for long periods and act as sources of infectious virus. Shedding of infectious virus can be reduced, but not prevented, by prior vaccination. Unlike serotypes 1 and 2, which are highly contagious, turkey herpesvirus is not readily transmissible among chickens (although it is easily transmitted among turkeys, its natural host). Attenuated serotype 1 strains vary greatly in their transmissibility among chickens; the most highly attenuated are not transmitted. Marek’s disease virus is not vertically transmitted. The incidence of Marek’s disease is quite variable in commercial flocks and depends on strain and dose of virus, age at exposure, maternal antibody, host gender and genetics, other concurrent diseases, and several environmental factors including stress.

I personally can't wait to see some of the projects that pop up over the next few years due to the Chocolate gene. Chocolate Marans would be awesome.
