Vaccinated chicks!

[cochinbantam-lover]

If you have your chicks vaccinated for Mareks and Cocci, how long are they protected, and when should I start feeding the medicated feed?

Thankyou!

Feed medicated with amprolium is designed to control cocci. Not quite sure why you would need it if they are vaccinated.

The only thing I know about the Marek's vaccine is that you must have all future chickens vaccinated as well, as long as you have these.

My chicks are vaccinated but I was wondering how long does it last? Are they immuned then or do you still need to feed the med feed for a length of time?

Thanks!
