Vaccines?

[pretty_chicken]

Who do I contact to ask what I should vaccinate my chickens for. Someone at the university? Or is it just personal preference?

I don't think you need to contact anyone. Personally, I don't bother with vaccinations but you can if you feel it's important.

Your county extension office should be able to help, or your state poultry program.

Some vaccines can be very useful especially if you aren't running a closed flock.

I think you're likely to get little or varied answers from ag university or extension office.

I think it's really a matter of personal research and personal preference......added to experience.

I don't vaccinate for anything - at this time anyway. But we live in serious mosquito territory, so a friend in the area has started vaccinating for fowl pox, which she does herself; it's not done at the hatchery.
