Chicken vaccinations?

[MayTheChickenLover]

My parents have finally said that, when avain flu in the UK dies down, I might be able to incubate my own eggs!

However, I know that in the UK you are meant to get poultry vaccinated. Does anyone know how much this costs and where (in Devon, UK), you can get them vaccinated?

It would cost about £500.
And that would cover roughly 1000 birds, the rest of the dose would have to be discarded within a few hours

There are no requirements for chicken keepers under 50 birds to vaccinate them unless you start selling eggs to the public, then you might have to look into it.

Here is a good article explaining the pro's and cons:
