Question about vaccinated birds/not vaccinated birds

[monarc23]

I'm getting in a trio of 1 and 2 month old chickens tomorrow shipped to me. I didnt even think ot ask the breeder but I will be after I post this. I have readon here before that birds that are vaccinated can possibly GIVE their carried vaccinated illness TO nonvacinated birds?


IS this TRUE.....andif so does every nonvaccinated bird exposed to vaccinatedbirds get sick?

I dont vaccinate so i need to find out if this breeder does.

Thanks for any help!

I just read a long thread about this and completely forgot what it said. If you do a search for Marek's vaccine it may come up. My recollection was that the vaccine does not shed, but my memory can't be trusted.

Vaccinated for what?

For Mareks it isn't transferred. For other vaccines, I don't know.
