Vaccination for ducks?
« on: July 11, 2009, 04:48:22 pm »
Does anyone know whether ducklings are supposed to be routinely vaccinated?  Our chickens were before we collected them, but I don't know whether we should be looking at vaccinating ducks, or what we should be vaccinating them against?

Help please!

Many thanks
Mary

Mary I have kept ducks for 12 years and have never had any injected for anything.

Same with me - I've had ducks for 7 years
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

would only be worth doing if you went large scale. this list of injections is long and i would hate to be doing all that inoculating.

Phew - that's a relief.  I wasn't looking forward to that.  Thanks for the advice.
