I would like to know Farmers who use free range system how do they administer vaccine to the birds? Most of the time i think they flock together. Am talking about maybe vaccine that are administered via drinking water. And feeds onca all birds feed in the same feeder and waterer.

Vaccines are either given via injection, aerosol spray, drinking water or eye drops.for drinking water you have to calculate the number of doses required and mix with amount of water as directed on the packaging. Recommended you give them this in the morning and have all other drinkers out of reach for the first 30 mins. The birds should not drink chlorinated water for the next 24-48hrs
