Perhaps this is a silly question?
« on: February 23, 2008, 10:23 »
I recently brought some Cochins with a view to putting some fertile eegs under then at some point as i am told that they are good mothers. It has however, occured to me that these new chooks will not have been vaccinated as a POL chook would have been. Are there any risks to health if i go down this road? Particularly concerned as our eggs are eaten by my young children.

Any advice would be appreciated..


Thanks :?:
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.

you'll be fine. it costs way to much to vaccinate when you only have a few, as doses are sold in 1000's.

i spoke to my vet when i first got my chickens, his wife has chickens and even they dont vaccinate.

There are major risks in large flocks but a few back yard hens carry very minute risks  :!:
