Did you buy your chicks or hatch them yourself? If you bought them they may already be vaccinated. Vaccines against Newcastle is vital where I live. I got some powder which I mixed with water. Took the chickens' water away first thing in the morning, waited a bit and gave them the medicated water to drink. Easy as that!

Find out from your state vet or local poultry association which vaccines you should give and where to get it etc.
