The proper vaccination for chickens depends on their age and purpose (e.g., layers, broilers) and includes essential shots like Marek’s Disease (day one), Newcastle Disease and Infectious Bronchitis (around 5–7 days), and Infectious Bursal Disease (around 10–14 days). Other vaccinations like Fowl Pox, Fowl Typhoid, and Infectious Coryza are added as the birds get older, with the exact schedule depending on local disease prevalence and veterinary advice. Always consult a veterinarian for a tailored schedule.

You can ensure egg freshness by using a float test, which involves placing the egg in a bowl of water to see if it sinks (fresh), stands upright (older but good), or floats (rotten).
