Crowing
In a couple of days, I am taking in a couple of 2 year old hens that will join my flock of four, around the same age.
From what I understand....
These two should be entirely separate for two weeks to look for illness.
I should deworm them from the start, just in case.
After two weeks, I should began slowly introducing them to my girls. I have a temporary small run for this inside my permanent run.
Am I missing something? Please, please share advice!
Also, with it being cold outside (typically in the 30s)....and I believe I will have to keep the new new hens indoors (no garage or basement) at first (2 weeks) will putting them outside and that temperature change be dangerous?
