Depends on where you live, have a registered breeding facility or not, the regular backyard breeder doesn't have to go by laws like many of us do. However I would say 30 days at the least.
When you get a new rooster I would advise that you keep it separate for at the least 15 days. You do not want to be spreading around diseases in your flock. Not really sure why you keep adding roosters in so quickly. When you buy a new one there should be quarantine in there. You need to keep it...
Since molasses is made from brown sugar can't you mix a bit of brown sugar in water??? I know it's not exactly the same thing but still it may work. I always have molasses around where I make cookies with it, and baked beans.

Lately I don't have time for anything that gets sick. We put down a hen last week that had internal hatching. As much as we loved her we figured it was best to cull her and bury here rather then see her suffer. When I have one that comes down sick though with anything including a bad cold, they...
