Hello my name is Rebecca and about a month ago I purchased my first Rhode Island Red chicks for my layers. My goal is to provide my family and myself with the best eggs and meat possible. Knowing where our food sources are coming from and what our food sources are being fed means a lot to me and my family. I look forward to learning what I can about raising chickens and learning from this communities vast knowledge.
I'm also getting ready to purchase our fist meat chickens - can anyone tell my why I should or shouldn't vaccinate my chicks with the Coccidiosis Vaccination? I want my chickens to be organically raised - meaning they will be fed an all natural diet and I will be putting them in a mobile chicken coop until time to butcher. I'm on the fence about this vaccine. Can anyone give me the pro's and con's to the medication?
Also what about the Marek's Disease vaccine?
Thank you for your time
