I'm sooo happy to have found this thread. We are BYCers from Cookeville. We're looking to add wyandottes (any color) to our small flock. Can anyone help us out with that?
I bought the Marek's vaccine from Jeffers pet supply. It comes in a large bottle, and can be removed (it's dry) and divided so you dont have to use it all at once. Vaccinating chicks is like vaccinating puppies, just move the feathers aside and pinch up a little skin. I used insulin syringes...
Yes you can vaccinate adult birds. It's actually a little easier than vaccinating chicks as it's easier to pinch up a little skin. There are several nice videos that show how to. Dividing the vaccine lets you save some for new additions. Best done at night when they are sleepy.
