I am scheduled to pick up 5 10-12 week old pullets this weekend to start our flock. We have 10x20 coop and 20 x 20 run. We live in northern MI and it will be 12 degrees the night we bring them home. 4 weeks later we will bring 8 more 10-12 week pullets from same farm. So a couple questions
1) when I bring the first 5 home am I supposed to leave them in coop for a few days before letting them in run? 2) when I bring home the following chickens since they are coming from same farm, do I still need to quarantine and then keep them separate in run for awhile?
Thanks!!!
