mareks help!!!!!!

[abhaya]

I just lost a chicken to mareks
I have 25 un vaccinated chicks due to be here monday. I can order the vaccine on line and have it by wed the chicks will be 5 days old by then Can I still vacinate them? I know the vaccine is for day old chicks but they have already been shipped so I cany get them vaccinated before wed at the earliest. What is my best opption?

Will the vaccine HURT them if they are a week old when they get it?

If that is the best you can do for them, then that will have to work. Just keep them in an area where you have not had any birds until they get the vaccine and for 10-14 days after that.

Feed & care for them first, before your other flock and make sure you always wash your hands and wear different clothing too.
