It's probably under the driver's seat of your monaro, next to the beanie and empty packet of Winnie Reds

I would really appreciate any additional information you can provide. As I said, I sort of ended up with these birds accidentally but I really want to keep them healthy!

I have about 50 ducks and two geese, you don't have to do all that much, I feed them rice husk mostly

no, i don't think you need that.
sure it is a risk, but a much lower order than ND.
as to where- I don't know. except in Battambang! :-)
Generally those stores that sell day old chicks should have the vaccine- should be marked
I - 2 thermostable.
should be widely available- maybe ask a vet?
