How long after purchasing new birds do you keep them separate from your flock? I already goofed and my flock actually walks up to my quarantine pen and talks to my two new birds so TECHNICALLY speaking quarantine isn't happening (seriously why was I thinking they wouldn't even notice two new chickens across the dang yard?!?) At this point should I still keep them separate or should I start the integration process since they're already within feet of each other daily? I think when I was thinking quarantine I was thinking if my healthy flock can't touch the new birds droppings or eat from the same pan/waterer as them then that's quarantine. Over sight on my part as someone pointed out to me
