Good morning and :welcome. Some of the advice you've given, I agree with. Some, I do not. None of my chickens have ever been vaccinated. I have given antibiotic to a few, only if they were VERY sick. I have a "Sink Or Swim" philosophy. If my chicks are not from a strong bloodline, they have no place in my flock. These are just personal choices. I am not a veterinarian and all I have learned has been self taught.

So, how about you.....How many chickens do you have?
How long have you been keeping chickens?
What breeds do you have?

Again, WELCOME:D
