Dh wants to know how many birds you have that need to be vaccinated and how old are they ?
If we do all the adults there are 23, and 2 fully feathered chicks over 5 weeks for chickens- I need to go out again and do another count, just go back from vaccation and hope the number's the same as when I left..
Here is a link to the Jefferssupply fowl pox - - adult version.Chicks 6 weeks and older can take it.
So, you won't need to vaccinate your group twice. Just order a bottle of the adult vaccine.
Add on an Ice Pak and an insulated cooler to keep it cold.

Here is the link to first state vet supply. You will need to add on an insulated cooler. It cost more for the cooler and vaccine, but I DON'T THINK they charge additional shipping whereas Jeffers supply does charge additional shipping.

When you get the vaccine in, we will set up a time / date to come over.
When we did our older flock . . . . We went though and plucked the feathers out in the appropriate spot FIRST. We did this for everyone.
Then we went back and caught everyone and gave them their vaccine one at a time. We did it like a little assmebly line. . .
The kids caught them, I held them, Dh stuck them with needle and another child released the chickens.
We let them free range after we were done . . . that way we knew we got everyone when there were no more chickens in the coop.
You have to be organized because you only have a couple of hours to use the vaccine. ESPECIALLY now that our day temps are in the 90's.
If you think you are going to be getting any more chicks this year . . . I would go ahead and order a bottle of the chick vaccine and a second bottle of the adult vaccines. . . . .
