Hmmm, I wonder: How would you be able to see still wet chicks under your broody without going near or even lifting her up a little? Tztztztzzzzzzzzzzt...
Remember your promise
Vaccinations against Merek's at least can still mean they are carriers for it and therefore the chicks could get it. Cocciodosis is a parasite and can exist in the dirt and soil. I don't have a complete knowledge of either vaccine, especially cocciodisis, but I know you can only buy a 1000 dosage vial for the Merek's vaccine, for $25-$30. It must be given within 24 hours of the chicks hatching, and you've got to be comfortable with the idea of sticking your little chicky's delicate skin. I made the choice not to vaccinate my babies.If all of my hens are vaccinated against cocciodosis and mereks then do I need to vaccinate these chicks? How do I go about doing that? I have good bio security against other farm birds, but there are wild birds around.
can I feed medicated chick starter if my hens will also eat it? I’ve heard to not feed medicated feed to vaccinated chickens.
That’s the one I saw as well. 1000 doses and it has to be used all at once. I don’t mind giving them the shot if it would help them but I suppose the jig is up because I can’t get it today.Vaccinations against Merek's at least can still mean they are carriers for it and therefore the chicks could get it.
