I'd keep an eye out for symptoms (bloody poop, ruffled, lethargic and withdrawn head), but yeah, some medicated feed may be a good idea. I kinda dosed everyone I brought home just to err on the side of caution. With the long trip home, my husband's bad driving and how cold and wet it was, I don't want any more sick chickens. I mean, I didn't see any bloody poop in the crates yesterday, but you don't need bloody poo to have it.

Guess what, Kat?! I got my first BLUE egg last night! I'm going to let my Silkie sit on it just in case it's fertile.

Alrighty, sounds like I will run out and get some tomorrow. And yeah I didn't see any bloody poop either nor are they lethargic. But yes, better safe then sorry. Always a good reason not to just toss new chickens with a flock.
 
Yeah, the month of quarantine is a pain because I really don't have the room to keep everyone seperate, but I make do. The chickens may be cramped and I am seriously inconvenienced, but it's worth it. My feed room is literally piled full of stacked cages when I get new chickens.

Yeah, I use to horse sit so I figured it was just like quarantine for horses. Out of sight and down wind from the healthy known animals is where you keep the new ones. So I just use the dog run the dogs don't use. It is more then big enough for two chickens and partially covered from rain and wind and totally covered from predators. So it works out well enough, just more changing of clothing and washing shoes that is more inconvenient then anything else.
 
Kat, tell hubba hubba hubby, I said... hi **where's the flip your hair and batting eyelashes smiley**
