Medicated food and vaccinations????

As mentioned, medicated feed is to combat coccidiosis, so only the coccidiosis vaccine is a concern. Marek’s and Fowl Pox are separate diseases, not related to medicated feed.
Do note that to be most effective, Marek’s vaccine should be given to chicks no more than 3 days old who have had zero contact with other chickens or chicken dander. Foul pox - I do believe that is only carried by mosquitoes and is an annual vaccine? I think that one is only given depending on the chicken’s risk level.

Thank you, for the information on fowl pox I will be sure to remember that when I vaccinate them in 7-8 weeks or so.
Also I don't if there is a coccidosis vaccine I looked for one but I could never find it. I do know that if a bird has it in your flock you can mix in corid powder in their water. (They sell corid powder at Tractor Supply)

Also, hard to find the fowl pox vaccine for chicks. The wing web administered one is for birds 8 weeks and up.

Can any of us even get a coccidiosis vaccine? I have purchased the one for Marek’s, but don’t recall seeing the coccidiosis one. My chicks from McMurray got it and they always seemed so healthy with great poops. I like to think the TSC chicks I added in with them may have gotten some benefit from their vaccine, too (their attenuated infected poo).

I have also never seen a coccidiosis vaccine. I know that you can put corid powder in their water to help them if they might have it ( you can corid powder at tractor supply or order it online). Also I hope your chicks grow to be happy and healthy.
