We are new to this! This will be our first hatch-lings if they all make it. So far by candling them,everything so far looks great....Question ....What kind of vaccinations,worming ,etc will they need? Any other suggestions or advice you can give us will be much appreciated! Thank you! We are getting a brooder all ready.

What breed are they? Vaccinations aren't required, but they are certainly helpful! If they are Bantam chicks (Silkies, Frizzles, D'Uccles, etc.) they can't be vaccinated. Once I know what breed they are, I can suggest vaccinations and/or preventative measures.

Hi Chatty... They are all Silkies We have one rooster and one hen.

How do you know you have a rooster and a hen if they haven't hatched? Am I missing something? Sorry I would like to fully understand before giving information!

Also...it seems we are always battling an Upper Respiratory infection at one time or another.The rooster is getting treated for that now. We are wanting to keep the new ones free from this.
