New chicks from a hatchery usually are disease free.
I understand that but if I would've gone and gotten my chick a buddy the other day I wouldn't have been able to get one straight from hatchery. I would've had to go to this feed store about an HR away and I was worried about the health of their chicks bc I noticed a duckling with a huge swollen sinus there once. Anyway I was just curious. So I guess if you plan to sneak chicks under broodies only get straight from hatchery? Right?
