There is many diseases that chickens can get: Marek's Disease, Laryngotracheitis, Newcastle/ Bronchitis, Coccidiosis, Bursal (Gumboro) and the Avian Encephalomyelitis (AE) and Fowl Pox Disease.

Marek's is a global problem of domestic chickens. It affects the nervous system, organs, and other tissues. There is no treatment for the infected. Vaccinate chickens as soon as possible.

Laryngotracheitis is an acute and highly contagious disease where gasping and spitting up blood happens. Choke to death. Vaccinate chickens at 4 weeks of age.

Newcastle/ Bronchitis affects the respiratory system and is highly fatal. Vaccinate chickens at 2 weeks and again 2 weeks later.

Coccidiosis is due to protozoon virus that remain dominant in the ground until the right host comes along---chickens. feed medicated feed or vaccinate and don't feed medicated feed.

Bursal (Gumboro) Vaccine helps chickens immune system. Vaccinate at 7 and 21 days of age.

Avian Encephalomyelitis (AE) and Fowl Pox Disease is where the hens pass neurological disorders and mortality off to there offspring. Vaccinate in the wing web.

Great place to order all these vaccines and different types of birds is:
