In the Brooder
The first bird to die of Marek's type symptoms here was a Legbar pullet that came vaccinated for Marek's. Since then almost all the Legbars and all but one Welsummer Legbar cross have died of it, but very few others, I think a couple partridge Wyandottes. I have Langshans and they were all fine these past two falls, and all the Paul Smith Ameraucanas are fine, along with the two Svarthonas.
It definitely seems to be a by the breed thing here.
Not a fan of Legbars, but I am smitten with these BBS Ameraucanas.
Our Ameraucanas just started laying this week, one almost every day. She seems very healthy.
