    Merek's Vaccination?

    Make sure they do not touch soil. Keep them in a brooder. After the 14 days you vaccinate them on the back of the neck . Check out the internet, I saw a video on how to do it, I believe youtube . I will get the vaccine and my avian vet will do the injections for me, thanks god :)
