Almost Self-Reliant
We have a farm near by raises chickens, you can buy chicks to young hens. They are big on biosecurity, you wear booties when you are there
Looking for thoughts on quarantine/isolation time before integrating 3 new ones to my flock? I have a friend that quarantines for 2-4weeks and then two friends that just put them in at night and let them go.
I dont really have a place to house extras for 2-4 weeks but could make something work. We are adding to the run this spring so they will have plenty of room (it is big enough for 10 now and we have 7).
Thoughts? Comments from experience?
