[piglet 30]

Hi there sucessfully hatched 4 chicks under my broody just over a week ago and they seem to be doing so well thankfully. Just wondering what to do about injections? Do they need them?

If so what age and how do i go about getting them done? we are away on holiday soon and they are booked in for a hen holiday at our local animal park. Should they be injected prior to this??

Also they are just on plain chick feed when am i allowed to gived mixed corn to them as a treat??

Many thanks for your help much appreciated

you are already too late for some injections (they are given on day 1 in some cases). Most backyard poultry keepers do not vaccinate as they come in large batches of 500 and 1000 and whilst they aren't too expensive in a lot of cases they simply aren't worth the expense.
