 :(Can you please give me some guidance on innoculations for pure breeds. I am looking at all the options for my choice of new hens and have found some beautiful pure breeds which have not been innoculated. I have been told that this is because of breeding from them. They are all wormed every 6/8 weeks and look amazingly healthy, but I would value comments from you all please!

most vaccines come in such large doses that most small breeders don't innoculate. Also as some of the vaccines are live so some choose not to for that reason.

Thanks joyfull! I just found an article by Foxy which is very helpful regarding pros and cons of hybrids and pure breeds. Sue
