    Can I vaccinate chicks after 24 hours?

    Hello all! Please let me know if this is better posted elsewhere. I'm ordering chicks from a small farm that doesn't vaccinate their birds. They go to great lengths to keep their flocks isolated and free of disease, including making sure they don't come in contact with wild birds. However, the...

We are raising a heritage meat chicken flock and don’t want to lose them to mareks halfway to the finish line. We are only looking to hatch out 20-30 at a time and I don’t want to drop $40 on a...

    Vaccinating Adult Chickens with Mereks??

    Hi, recently one of my 2 year old hens passed away after a necropsy and testing another hen. Both tests show that have/had mereks disease. I know most people typically vaccinate chicks as soon as possible, unfortunately in this case I do not believe they were vaccinated. I’ve seen a lot of back...

    Fowlpox Vaccine Question

    I haven't found a clear answer to this one. Our baby chickens (b. June 17, 2023) appear to have fowlpox. Older chickens have either had it before or have been vaccinated. Only three of the 18 babies have lesions at this point, but since everyone is together, it is safe to assume everyone is...

    Dry fowl pox (how to manage in small coop with newly hatched chicks)

    Hello, everyone :) This is my first post and I wanted to use it to clear out some doubts about fowl pox. First of all, an 8 week old plymouth hen started to show little black scabs on her comb and eyes 5 days ago, so I immediately proceeded to isolate her from the rest of the flock. I have...

    Fowl pox in chick 12-16 weeks old; vaccines/treatment?

    Hello, I have a happy, seemingly healthy young chick born mid April. She showed a few black spots on her comb. One quickly became inflamed and scabbed over. Now she has one on her eye and one on her chest. They get bigger daily. Is this fowl pox? If so, do I just use the sprays or vaccinate? If...

    HPAI vaccine?

    Anyone know if there’s a vaccine for this thing available? Internet search has more or less failed me, various sites say there is a vaccine for some strains, but I can’t find where to find it either. I’d ask a vet but the only one I know that’s decent isn’t hardly available and the others are...

    Vaccination for Fowl Pox

    I live in central Arkansas in a densely wooded area. No matter how much we have battled the woods I feel like the mosquitoes are getting worse every year. I get torn up by them anytime I’m around the coop (or anywhere on the property actually) and I’m worried about my chickens getting Fowl...

    Mixing vaccinated and unvaccinated chickens post-Marek’s infection?

    Hello all, Last July I lost my dearest hen to Marek’s. Fast forward to now, and I’ve since lost 3 more hens (out of 13) - a 1 year old brahma, 4 year old speckled sussex, and her daughter, a 15 week old RIR/speckled sussex mix. All were unvaccinated. Since the last loss, things seem to be...

    Duck Plague Vaccine

    New here, so I apologize if I didn't look hard enough for an answer to my quandary. I've been dealing with duck plague for the past 2 months. I had several ducks, and they came down with duck plague. I separated off several males because I had too many and took them to live on a plantation...

    Hatcheries that vaccinate in ovo, or through the egg?

    I've read that the most effective Marek's vaccines are given with a double needle while the chick is still in the egg. Does anyone know which hatcheries vaccinate this way? Anyone? Bueller? I only know about Vikon Farms (...
