Re: [CHICKENS-101] chicks

 

 That would be a vaccine for mareks, a virus.  I used to have problems with mareks until I stopped vaccinating.  It's probably different for different poultry and farms, but here we do better to not vaccinate for mareks.  We do breed for resistance.  Cathryn

I could be wrong, but I think the only shot you could give them has to be done when they are only one day old, supposedly to protect them from germs they would come in contact with as soon as they hatch. My guess is that it would already be too late for that.
