Going Organic?
For those interested in raising chickens for organic meat and eggs, producers can choose to have vaccinations administered for Coccidiosis (a droplet administered on day-old chicks) or Marek’s disease. In the case of older birds, find out whether or not they’re fed non-GMO feeds. Individual hatcheries may or may not offer these specific options, so if it’s an important factor for your operation, it’s critical to ask.
