MDV
Marek’s Vac 1000 doses live virus vaccine for Marek’s Disease for use only on one-day-old chicks; administered subcutaneously in the back of the neck.
$13.00

This is where I get mine.
Mike

Marek’s Disease
Birds 6 to 9 months old - enlarged, red feather follicles or white bumps on skin that form a brown crusty scab; lack of coordination, pale skin, wing or leg paralysis (one leg points forward & the other poins back under the body), rapid weight loss, coma, death due to trampling or inability to get to feed and water; in breeds having reddish bay eyes - cloudy, grayish dilated pupil.

CURE:
None, cull unless you’re breeding for resistance. Day-old birds can be vaccinated. Check with state poultry specialist for advice on vaccines.

Sounds like one of Alex's friends ... shortest kid at the school, and the same age.

The boy eats just about everything that is not nailed down and a few things that are! Yesterday I noticed we had 3 loaves of bread in the pantry, so I tossed one into the freezer. This morning I went to make some toast and we were down to just a few slices! I'm not sure when he ate the rest - we had salmon, rice and spinach salad for dinner and it looked like he had Mt. Rainier on his plate! He loves vegetables, Japanese food, most Thai food, Indian food ... The only things he won't eat are sauer kraut, pickled herring (or pickled anything), bell peppers that have been cooked, and tomatoes that are not made into sauce, and when he was little, he liked all those thins as well! DD on the other hand ... if it has color, she won't eat it!

My kid doesn't eat enough.
I find his breakfast in the trash. He sneaks it in when I'm not looking.
I need to take away his candy stash.
Does your DD eat cauliflowers & tofu?

She does! So long as the cauliflower is smothered in white sauce. She even dips her fries in mayo!

Very Cool!!! Awesome Birds I just love them.I used to raise some years ago but my 2yr.old(now 14yrs.) decided to open the cages and let them out while I was cleaning the chicken coop. I would love to get back into raising them only I just dont have the space. And your video skills looked great to me.
Thanks for sharing.

Yah! I even had someone watch it! That all makes it worth it.
Extra special thanks to ya for the compliment TBB!

Those Impeyans are gorgeous! They're all nice, but those are so colorful and shiny. I wouldn't have thought those colors would be possible.

They are the National bird of Napal.
Nice looking in the vid?, You should see 'em in person.........Whoa!
To me it looks like there wrapped in velvet.
Thank you!

i use to be like that too.

Non colored vegetables, fruits ok, but meat otherwise.
I'm now a vegetarian....love my veges.
Ok, I'll eat some seafood, but thats it.
My ducks seem to like that arrangement.

She'll add colors to her plate soon enough.

I'm thinking I better not show the video to my kids, or we may end up with some, and that would require another coop since you can't keep game birds with domestic fowl. DH thinks they look cool. Wants to know what you do with them. I can't imagine eating something so pretty! My brother used to raise pheasants, and he hunts for them too. When I was a teen, I would only cook them up if they were completely cleaned and cut up. I didn't want to know how pretty they are. Chicken and lamb did not bother me when I worked at a ranch in the summers. They kind of look like vegetables with legs, and are about as bright.

Just this week she has decided she likes spinach salad, and has one every day, so there is hope for her yet!''I do force her to eat greens, takes her half an hour to eat 3T of peas or a couple broccoli spears, and she's gagging the entire time!

So true. Meat birds have to be some of the dumbest animals on earth. I have no guilt about eating them. Though if you are what you eat then I am not getting any smarter.
