Yes, not all chickens get injections however but they are often given an injection soon after hatching to help prevent a specific disease called Marek's disease. The preventative medicine for this can also be given via water soluble dosage and is often used on small hobby farms rather than injectable solutions. Much of the medicine a chicken will need can be added to their water supply.

Chicks shipped from major hatcheries will have had an injection for this disease.

No, I prefer to eat chicken that wasnt vaccinated, or caged. Free range aren't vaccinated and in my opinion, is alot better. (But more expensive, because it's easier just to vaccinate chickens than go without)

Yes, there are several things out there that roosters can get. Some people dont vaccinate their fowl and they have done fine. Check with local vet in your area for complete advice.
