 I&amp;#39;ll add to the seeming plethora of exotics questions. Should I be recommending pet chickens are vaccinated? If so, with what and at what age?

Not much benefit in vaccinating adults as likely already contacted virus but as you have at least 1000 doses to use in a couple of hours then worth considering.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Infectious bronchitis (from day 1 to 14 as spray/eye drop) is also a good idea - exact brand will depend on strains in local area.&lt;/p&gt;
