When I ordered my chicks from the hatchery, they were vaccinated for Marek's. Some of my other chicks seemed to have gotten Marek's (well two showed signs of leg paralysis - they were culled). At any rate, when I hatch my own eggs, how do I vaccinate for Marek's?
At the hatchery they run them through a fine mist that they breathe in. Don't know about home vaccination for it.
Quote:It would be unusually for small backyard flocks to be vaccinated for Mareks. The smallest vial of vaccine available is about 1000 doses
You can vaccinate in a shot form, but the mist they breathe in is more common. There is also a dose available that you put in the eye to vaccinate them. You have to buy them in quantities of 500, but it's still only about $5 for that many.
