Non injection VACCINE??

[donnacaward]

I should have some chicks on the way very very soon and I was wondering if anyone could let me know a bit more about Vaccines as the chickens I already have in the garden were already vaccinated when I bought them.

Is there a Mareks vaccine that I can get on a uk online store somewhere? ...that preferably isn't injectable. Or some advice if it HAS to be injected and where to get everything.

Thanks

I don't live in the UK so I can't be much help as to where to buy online but all Marek's vaccines are injectable. I'd search on google for UK vet supplies. Not such a great help, that, but it's the best I can do.

It also may be that you don't need to vaccinate them anyway. Often I read here that unless you have a specific reason to fear your chickens getting Mareks then it isn't really needed to do it.

Yup - I have ordered both vaccinated and non-vaccinated chciks, and neither had a problem.
