    Starting my own new flock: What's the best way to integrate same age pullets from different sources?

    I'll take a stab at this. Im new to owning chickens but I'd imagine that the best thing to do would be to keep each pair quarantined away from each other pair for a week or two. THen when you are sure that none of the pairs have any disease/illness, put them in the same coop, but keep them...

Personal example.... When I lived...

    Got my first egg! Question...

    Ok! Thanks! I've ha brown, fresh eggs before. But never my own. Te ones I've ha we're not free range so I think that may explain the color difference. Yes, my girls eat tomatoes. They sneak in the garden and eat tomatoes, and cantaloupe. But their favorite to eating the pumpkins!
