incubating eggs then vaccinating

Recommended Posts

hi there has anyone ever incubated their own eggs and vaccinated once they have hatched.

 

i know that you can buy the eggs on ebay or through breeders. But how do you go about vaccinating themselves once they have hatched. I know that if i get them form a breeder they would have been vaccinated straight away and for the following couple of weeks.

The vaccinations are all added to their food and drink.

 

I believe they are only available in industrial quantities though....which makes it a bit expensive for the "hobby" breeder.

 

Why not have a chat with your vet, or a local breeder, who might be able to advise.

Pickles, speak to Thorne's (I'm starting to sound like I'm on commission, I know! :roll: ). If you take your chicks along on the day they are vaccinating they will do yours too, although I don't know whether they will charge for this service.

 

Their number is 01462 675767.

 

Oh, and not all small breeders vaccinate so do clarify this before you buy.
