Thank you! I have silkies hatching today and confirmed Marek's so I'd like to know how to split the vaccine I have on hand. I have 2 batches of polish hatching in 1-2 weeks. Thanks again!

Don't forget to wait to introduce vaccinated chicks to the flock. It takes a little while for their bodies to produce antibodies to the Mareks. If they are around any infected chickens before they are immune, then it won't work.

I thought that it had to be used within an hour after being diluted. Here is the label on the 1000 dose vial to read:

Strombergs sell it cheaper than Valleyvet, but they say it is on backorder since they cannot get it from the manufacturer.
You have to buy syringes and needles separately, and a foam cooler with ice packs for guaranteed safety during shipment.
