Thank you Isaac for this comment. Qn. If you don't trust the supplier, can you vaccinate chicks again? Answer: Even if you trust the supplier, it is advisable that you vaccinate them again on arrival at the farm. 1. In most cases, suppliers have many chicks and they usually vaccinate using a sprayer or other group vaccination methods. Chances are that some chicks may miss out getting the vaccine. It may land on the head or any other body part. Therefore end up not vaccinated. 2. Some companies may actually not vaccinate. So what do we do? Always vaccinate your chicks on arrival at the farm. Vaccinate each individually on the eye. It may be tiresome but it saves you a lot of money in treatment. Thank you once again for this comment. Dr. Dorothy.

Dear nkalubo Emmanuel, thank you very much for this comment. Qn You dont do Brooding papers? Brooding papers are advisable to be used to cover the little for the first three days. i mean from day 1 to day 3, then you remove them. Brooding papers help to prevent the chicks from eating the littre material directly. Some times they are used to place feed for day one. However after day one you have to use other surfaces to put the feed as the chicks would have but fecal matter on those papers, and this would be health risk if you continue placing feed on those papers
