Baby chicks and meds

[Jambruins]

I am going to get some chickens next year and they will be free ranging. I will coop them up at night. If I decide to hatch some eggs do they babies need any meds/vaccinations if they will be free range? I am trying to figure everything out before I actually get chickens. Thanks.

It would be a good idea to talk to your county extension agent to see what is recommended for your location, if you are in the US.

Here is a good article:
