Preventative vaccines for show birds

[ohsocrazie]

I hope this is the right section for this question. I have call ducks and will be getting some silkie chickens. I’ll be bringing them to shows, as a preventative measure I would like to know what diseases should I vaccinate for? Thanks

I recently had to jump through a lot of hoops to send eggs out of the country. During that I was asked if my birds had been vaccinated against "avian flu". I didn't know there was a vaccine for that. Wouldthat be the same as "Avian encephalomyelitis"?
