I get mine here http://www.jefferslivestock.com/ssc/default.asp?CID=2&mscssid=7842H5Q4T39R8MRQX9DKW6P9URAQ3N0F
They are in Dothan Alabama, not sure how far away you are but they are open on Sunday's..They are quick to ship also
You need to vaccinate every thing that is not showing symptoms..I would get two vials...Vaccinate all the birds in the same wing(i'ts easier to find the ones, if any that didn't take this way) Once you are through dispose of what is left..I'ts only good for like an hour once it is mixed...hint..have all the chickens caught and in cages before you start vaccinating.....Then, A week later catch them all back up and look at the injection/stab site(wing web) You will see a yellowish bump..these are the "Takes" meaning the vaccination was a success..Any that is not showing these bumps will need revaccinating(this is where the 2nd vial comes in) if all is good you have an extra vial that can be used later on..Usually it has a two year shelf life....Thats about all there is to it, other than being sure not to stick your self or accidentally knocking the vial over which is very easy to do.....any problems or ?s just PM................

re the saline question:
boil 1/4 tsp salt in a quart of water for five minutes ... make fresh daily and flush daily
If you see them scratching their eye with foot (which often happens) or even making that movement I would separate off the ground giving his feet a good scrub too too... this will be a better environment to avoid any further infection complications in that eye. I know it looks real bad now but I have seen worse and though it will take a while they will recover.

I am not but 1hour away from Dothan, in Arlington. If you don't mind me asking, where are you located? Thankyou so much for the info

You have been so helpful. Do I need to vaccinate the one that is already sick? How far in do I need to put the needle. I have never given a shot to a bird before and I need to make sure I get this right.

Thankyou dlunicorn.It make's me feel alote better having reassurance from you. I already have him off of the ground in a brooder box with pine shaving's. Is this ok? I have also started him on terramycin just as a precaution. I don't want to take the chance of him getting a secondary infection. He is eating and drinking fine. His poop is normal in color and is not runny. You are right he looks aweful.
