Are we suppose to give newly hatched chicks any medicine or shots

[lovinmychickens]

Can you tell us if we need to give newly hatched chicks shots of some sort, I thought i read that in a book or something about giving them a shot at a day old

Unless you have a history of disease in the flock or are a large production place, it is not necessary and causes excess stress.

Shots!?? In something that small!?? Nope...just medicated chick starter will do the job!
