So if they're 7 weeks and there's no paralysis or snots, what do you think? Your answer is very important to me !

Nope, no paralysis, no deaths. The week olds have been introduced to dust bathing with sand from the coop too.
I think its safe to say i have nothing here?

I think there's about a 90% chance that you don't have either. Marek's can show up most commonly under 8 months I've experienced. But more apt to show up at 6-12 weeks. Depends on the concentration of virus in the atmosphere.
Cocci would be the most common to watch out for, and my personal choice for any age that is sick and not eating.

If so, then why did the results come bavk that way? Because the birds were vaccinated for both?.

If so, then why did the results come bavk that way? Because the birds were vaccinated for both?. I just realized the question you actually asked.Sometimes,a vaccine will give a false positive, especially if a live virus is used.So,Groucho has a lot of spunk?I like spunk in a rooster as long as it's still a big baby to me. |
