Hi all,
I like to do most things as natural as possible, but Marek's is one disease that I don't think I'll take my chances on. I'm trying to buy all my stock pre-vaccinated. However, that said, that means any chicks I have born from that stock needs vaccinating too. (Parent's don't give immunity to their chicks) What are the options for those of us who might raise half a dozen chicks at a time? Is there a medication to create immunity that can be given orally - rather than a needle/vaccination? Can you take them to a vet and get them vaccinated (pricey I bet)? What are the options?
Thanks.
