Vaccinated chickens ?

[Reg]

Most adds selling chickens say they have been vaccinated.

What are the vaccinated against ?

Vaccinations are typically given at a day old for Mareks disease. It is an option at checkout when you order through a Hatchery. But if you buy from your local TSC or grain store they typically don't have the vaccination because it affects their profits to get chicks that are vaccinated. I do not believe that any of mine are vaccinated and never had an issue.

Quite a few folks are vaccinating for ILT and Pox now too. Does anyone still vaccinate for New Castle?

I just got the Newcastle Infectious Bronchitis vaccine from McMurray Hatcherey. Its the one you can put in the water. Do you happed to know how much youre supposed to put to a gallon of water and it also said something about adding powdered milk.
