I did not know there wass vaccine for coccidiosis.

The MyPetChicken site summarizes it pretty well (in this case why they wont vaccinate for it in the chicks they sell).


"The coccidiosis vaccine administered in the U.S. is unattenuated, meaning it is not weakened in any way, and can actually cause illness and retarded growth. We think it's a bad idea to cause the baby chicks to endure the extra stress of cocci vaccinations, since shipping is already stressful on the babies. It's for that reason we don't offer a vaccination against coccidia."


That being said, other places like Murray McMurray will vaccinate for you.



“We do vaccinations here at the hatchery, because it is best to vaccinate chicks at 1-3 days of age. A successful vaccination will provide long-lasting immunity.”
