I quarantine for at least 30 days...some have been longer to allow them to gain some size. if you can quarantine separately I would recommend it. if one bird is ill and with two others, the others could become ill as well.
Just a bump and reminder because of the number of posts I have seen lately about new birds going into flocks and then birds getting ill and or dying. Please quarantine all new birds.
Your HOBO will be fine, I have quaratined several for 6 - 8 weeks in a XL dog crate (at different times) and they did just fine.
Sally will be missed but I will bump this thread on the ocassion I see it needs to re-surface.
