Stock Photo - 14 March 2022, Saxony, Pehritzsch B. Eilenburg: Chicken chicks just a few hours old wait at poultry farmer Hartmut Poschlod's for vaccination by veterinarian Anna-Maria Westermeyer. After 21 days, the first chicken chicks from breeders who come from the surrounding area, as well as from Berlin and Magdeburg, have now hatched in the incubators of his hatchery. By the end of June, up to 1,500 chicks, including from various chicken breeds, geese, ducks, quail, turkeys and ostriches, will see the light of day. Already one day after hatching, the animals receive a ""Marek"" vaccination from the veterinarian, which is used against a poultry paralysis.
