After my recent horrible experience buying a laying hen from a local farmer that was sick, I've vowed to do things very differently. I want to make sure all my birds are as healthy as possible. I'm looking into NPIP certified hatcheries, and I'm also trying to learn as much as I can about biosecurity and anything else I can do so everybody stays healthy.
So vaccines are on my list.
I found McMurray's sells vaccines as well as already vaccinated birds, but a few vaccines are not offered by them.
I found this one that says it's for MG, but it's expensive. Do any of you have experience or more info on this? Does it really work? Since MG is a bacterium I wonder.

I think I will be getting the ones from McMurrays if I get baby chicks so that I can provide that health coverage.
They offer Coccidiosis and Marek's done at the hatchery before chicks are shipped. So that's a given.
Out of these which ones do you guys use or think are the most useful/important?
Newcastle/Bronchitis
AE and Fowl Pox
Laryngotracheitis
Coryza
MG/CRD
