Fow Pox Vaccine

[NalaLana000]

I vaccinated my chickens with the vaccine from Meyer. It is the one they say to vaccinate them after they are 8 weeks old. It is called "PIGEON POX, FOWL POX AND AVIAN ENCEPHALOMYELITIS VACCINATION KIT" on the website. I know they say you shouldn't have chickens that are and are not vaccinated for mareks mix, but does the same rule apply for the fowl vaccine? Thanks to anyone who can offer any help.

It doesn't matter if you have chickens vaccinated for Mareks mixed with those that are not. They won't get the disease from the vaccine, since it is not a live vaccine. I cannot find anything in the instructions on the fowl pox vaccine, though. I think it is a live vaccine, but there is no warning on the website about it possibly causing pox to other birds. Maybe someone else will chime in, or you can contact the manufacturer.
