10/10 chicks lost...this makes me ill...I am soooooo sorry.
I have misc layers that are around 2 years old...bought at Feed Store (before I had BYC to educate me).
I have 1 older cochin hen bought elsewhere (unsure if she was vaccinated but can find out)
3 Seramas (almost a year old) bought from breeder (can ask..not sure if vaccinated).
2 serama chicks raised by broody from above parents. hatched here - I did not vaccinate. They are approx 10 weeks old (would have to check my book)
5 orp and 1 serama chicks incubator hatched (in the house right now approx 2 weeks old).
1 6-month old Orp pullet (hatched here - right now fighting what I believe is Cocci - she is in house being medicated).
Okay, so say I order vaccination. I vaccinate 6 chicks in house. They will be in house most of the winter as we get cold winters here. When they are put outside...will they potentially infect the others? I will verify if the cochin hen and the older seramas have been vaccinated or not. I would like to vaccinate the black orp pullet too, when she is better. Would this be to her benefit? What if I vaccinate the two serama chicks that are outside under their mother? Will they infect anyone?
Thank you so much for all the information....it is wonderful.
