Dr. Blayne turns pox vaccination from “I’m too nervous to try that” into a quick barn chore.

In episode 36 we invite you to come along while we vaccinate our own Poultry Doc flock and give step-by-step instruction on how to keep your chickens safe from fowl pox, Infectious Laryngotracheitis (ILT), and Avian Encephalomyelitis (AE).

Dr. Blayne runs through everything from how to properly store your vaccine, the right time to vaccinate, exactly where to administer the vaccine using a wing-web stabber and why this is one task a helper is handy.

We’ll also tell you how to check for a proper “take” about a week later, and how to decide if this combo vaccine makes sense for your flock based on your environment, mosquito pressure, and whether you’re raising birds for eggs, breeding, or chick sales.
