Tweety Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi, it is not feasible to vaccinate chicks in such small numbers so not something you need to worry about. You can help them as far as coccidiosis is concerned by feeding them medicated chick crumb, which is available from the Omlet shop, which is what I have done with mine.

bostock422 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Normally with very small batching of chicks there may be no need to vaccinate your chicks (a lot of pure beers aren't vaccinated), but if you want still want to get them vaccinated (just to be on the safe side) you can buy some vaccines off the internet that you can put in their drinkers. If you want to do this, you should vaccinate against mareks, IB and newcastles, normally at 8, 12 and 16 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
