vaccination

Hello all, brand new chicken Mama here. I just hatched 2 Rhode Island White chicks 6 days ago. On the first day, I vaccinated them with New Castle (ND) Hitchner B1, in the form of eye drops, everything went well. On the fourth day, I vaccinated them again using ND La Sota (eye drops) and since...

Hi all, My girls just hatched a tiny little Serama chick yesterday, and I overnighted the Marek's vaccine so I could make sure the baby is vaccinated. My question is two-fold: 1. How much would I give the baby since it's so much smaller than a normal chick? Regular dose? Half dose? 2. Has...

Hi all! We are new to raising chickens and did a lot of research, we have 4 buffs and 10 australorps and they will be for family use once they get to that point. ie. eggs and meat. We will only be keeping a handful of these through the winter for continued egg production. my question is: we...

I've got a small mixed flock of buff ducks and buckeye chickens. All about 2 years old, none of them vaccinated. I'm moving to a commercial poultry farm and the owner wants me to vaccinate my flock for Marek's before bringing them there. I understand the vaccines will likely be ineffective at...

Hi! I have a flock of eight birds who are seven weeks old. They were vaccinated for marek’s as newborn chicks and I’m using medicated feed to avoid coccidiosis. I am also concerned about Newcastle Disease. I purchased some live virus vaccine. Is it safe to use live virus in their water? How do I...

Hi everyone, I am in a bit of a pickle and I am looking for some advice from somebody who has some deep knowledge about the coccidiosis vaccine, medicated feed, and coccidiosis prevention in general. Recently I got some coccidiosis vaccinated baby chicks which I didn’t know were vaccinated. I...

This query mainly relates to Mareks disease and how important vaccinations are to breeders/buyers of poultry. In my city monitoring poultry adverts it appears that large hatcheries that vaccinate are selling as many birds as they can hatch and breeders who don't are struggling to sell stock and...

Hi, I need to vaccinate my 6-7 days old chicks for Newcastle disease. I bought Lasota (powder), on its pack its mentioned Doses 100-B. The seller said that I need to mix this in 1000ml of water and let the chicks drink it within in an hour. My question is what if I want to prepare the mixture...

Hi, I have two questions: 1. I vaccinated my chicks of a day old by both live(B1 hitchner strain coupled with H120 IBD eye drops) and killed(injection) Newcastle Disease. But I read in a book that baby chicks will inherit their parents antibodies and their immune system may reduce the effect of...

Hey y'all! Just had a quick question regarding my upcoming order of chicks. I have 26 chicks coming from Murray McMurray the week of April 1st. 22 are heavy-laying breed males, such as Wyandottes, Australorps, etc., and the rest are laying hens. Anyways, I will be feeding the heritage meat birds...

I’m from the UK and was wondering what vaccinations people recommend for day old chicks which is available over here. We hatched chicks a few times but they are only a hobby and we didn’t vaccinate but this year we were thinking to. Any help would be brilliant

I got my first set of 5 chicks from a TSC here in Southern California in March 2018. We have had 3 die of Marek's disease (confirmed by necropsy at UC Davis) but my last 2 girls are doing great. They are unvaccinated though from what we were told by the sales person. I was wondering if it was ok...

I have 4 hens and one Rooster which I raised from day old chicks from My Pet Chicken last October. I want to add some blue egg layers to my flock, and maybe another Lavender Orpington who is my little Love. I have 2 Easter Eggers who lay pale green eggs so carry the blue gene, and my...

I've read that the most effective Marek's vaccines are given with a double needle while the chick is still in the egg. Does anyone know which hatcheries vaccinate this way? Anyone? Bueller? I only know about Vikon Farms (...

I have three 5 week (Silver Laced Orpington) & 6 week (Easter Egger) old chicks that I want to vaccinate against Mareks before I move them outside to join my small flock of already Mareks-vaccinated chickens (They are 3 years old now). I recently found out Newcastle Disease is rampant right now...

Murray Mc... would not ship vaccinated and unvaccinated chicks in same box. They said the unvaccs would get sick from shed virus. My question is this is it safe to introduce these vaccinated chicks (Marecks) into my general unvaccinated flock?

I had Newcastle Disease about 2 months ago which took all my chickens 64 and I was able to save just one all in the span of 7 days.Can anyone tell me how long it takes before I can once again house new birds in the pens ? I have cleaned with bleach on most everything in chicken house. Even...
