Are these chicks dead in shell?

On day 23 I open most of my leftover eggs up that look like maybe there's still hope.

The chick's parents are a Silver Laced Wyandotte(hen) and a Rhode Island Red(Male), what is the breed. Sorry about the "she". How do you sex the chick?

 

[TbChiCken]

When should the chick be vaccinated?

Don't think you can autosex her/him (tell by the feathering).

What are you vaccinating for?

 

[TbChiCken]

Is there a way to vaccinate for everything?

You'll get Golden Males with incomplete lacing, & Red Females with incomplete lacing.

The males will be gold split to silver to be more clear. Gives them a bright yellow gold. Kind of lemony.

So males gold, & females red.

Thank you, I will get some photos soon.

Pullets we buy from large-scale producers are vaccinated for:

• Marek’s
• Coccidiosis
• Newcastle Disease
• Gumboro
• Infectious Bronchitis
• Rhino
• Tracheitis

To be honest, if you want to vaccinate you only need to vaccinate against:

• Coccidiosis
• Marek's
• bronchitis if necessary
• avian flu if possible

BUT vaccinations are bought in bulk. Do you have a backyard flock of no more that 25 individuals? Then vaccinating will probably present more trouble that protection.

How may chickens do you have?
The chicks must be quite a bit older to be vaccinated.

 

[TbChiCken]

We have 11 chickens already vaccinated, but one chick who is not. Should I vaccinate

 

[SulkyBantam]

Have you vaccinated before?
