As far as I understand it Karlooben we don't vacinate only the big mass production guys do.
I don't do mine

I might be wrong though :?

Ex batts will have had the works.

I'm pretty sure you never have to re vaccinate or booster

LOL! I read the title and thought this was a thread on going on holidays!!

I think you mean vaccinations!

Once vaccinated, thats it they're covered for life. They really need to be done as day olds.

Oh yes, I've just edited the title so no more chooks going on holiday now

It's not really feasable to vaccinate small numbers of birds.

To vaccinate for the full range of diseases takes from day old until the birds are about 15 weeks old.

There's some good information on The Poultry Site

i heard somewhere that vaccines for coccodiosis only last 12 months, my ex barns are 2 years old and not protected, don't know about other vaccines though.

Chooks are mainly at risk from coccidiosis when they are young. They build up an age immunity to it so that by the time the vaccine's effect reduces they should have a reasonable natural immunity.

I know very little about chicks but common sense would tell me to keep hygiene good, not mix them with older birds, and feed them on chick diet with a coccidiostat in it.

oh... and install the google spell checker on your google tool bar
