Regarding the MDv vaccine, not saying that's what this is.. I just looked into it since I'm hatching Cemani and my friend is a softee.. it comes in 1000 dose vial.. and you need to use a 1 ml insulin syringe for about every 3 chicks to maintain sharpness likely. It MUST be stored at the correct temperature during transport, storage, etc. It needs to be given around 24 hours or AS soon as they come out of the bator.. the vaccine itself MUST be utilized withing TWO hours of mixing.
No a vaccinated chick will not transfer what doesn't exist to flock mates nor will flock mates transmit what doesn't exist to new comers.. but anything existing CAN be caught, carried, transmitted WITHOUT detectable symptoms on either party's part.
Off to get puppy vaccines real quick. Hang in there and thank you for being brave enough to try and find answers!
