Is there 'medicine' to prevent Marek's disease?

[kyeschicks]

I was pretty good with chickens, but around 3 years ago I stopped raising chickens and I've been chickenless since then lol Well my question is...are there like drops that you put in their water, or in the food, or an alternative to vaccinate them? My uncle's hen just had chicks and he's wondering what he can do to prevent Marek's disease. And if there's only vaccinations, where can we buy them? Thanks

Its only available as a subcutaneous vaccination. You can get it from Jeffers Supply (http://www.jefferspet.com/md-vac-cfl/camid/liv/cp/F7-J7/).

No problem, unfortunately it only comes in 1000 bird doses

but its only around 19 dollars so its worth it in my opinion. i did my birds with it. its true a lot goes to waste but its a great price and very much worth vaccinating for! you use 0.2 for each bird. directions are really pretty clear and easy to understand.
