vaccinating

[simplyseren]

Hi there, I am new to the chicken raising adventure. I will be getting my new "children" this weekend. I am getting 5-6 from a hatchery and they will be vaccinated. I am also getting 2 silkies from a private person who is incubating them for me. my question is this: where do i go to get the silkies vaccinated? I have read that some people get a large bottle of Mareks vaccines, but I only plan on having 2 that will possibly need the vaccine, i dont see the need to buy a big bottle if it is not going to be used. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alright

great to have you joining the BYC flock

BYC has a very useful learning center

If you would like to see them little guys grow fast try feeding
them a hard boiled egg every day for the first week and they
will be much healthier in the long run

There are some links to threads on vaccination in the first post.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! The only thing I can think of to do is post in your state thread to see if anyone really close to you happens to have chicks they are vaccinating at that time, otherwise I think you would have to buy your own bottle. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/248345/pennsylvania-unite

Welcome to BYC. That's a good suggestion from Kelsie - it just might be the solution that you seek.

Welcome to BYC!

Kelsie has an excellent idea there. I hope you can find someone that can help you out with more vaccines in your state thread.

Enjoy this new adventure you are on and welcome to our flock!
