Is it possible and worth getting adult chickens vaccinated and by adult I mean 12 months old I have read they do this for chicks but I was told at an auction you can also do this for adult chickens? would it need to be done by a vet and what do they vaccinate for at that age?

I understand most vaccines have to be given as day old chicks......before they have any contact with the ground or other chooks which may be carrying particular disease.....
You can vaccinate for fowl pox when the chook is an adult...
Vaccination does not need to be done by a vet...but as the vaccine is expensive and it has to be used within hours of being prepared (and the preparation does about 1000 chicks)...

Just a question, are all the commercial egg laying hens from poultry farms vaccinated by law or not?

I don't know about law...how about you try googling it.....I would think if people are going to go to the trouble, and the cost to vaccinate, they will proudly state this....

All chickens in any commercial poultry flock in Victoria must be vaccinated in accordance with Newcastle Disease Vaccination Program Standard Operating Procedures (NDVP SOPs) Owners of commercial poultry flocks must only introduce chickens into their flock that have been vaccinated for Newcastle disease in Victoria not sure about other states?

How do you know for sure they have been vaccinated do they give you a certificate?
