I don't bring adult birds in anymore, but at least 4 weeks preferably 6 . Mycoplasma and upper respiratory disease symptoms can take that long to rear their ugly heads. A carrier of these diseases may only show symptoms when stressed out. In 4-6 weeks of observing you should know if anyone has runny noses or breathing issues. Also gives you an opportunity to deliced and worm . Lice are like nits in kids you need to treat 10 days apart as with most wormers.

I only bring in chickens as eggs these days.

Great. My Light Sussex have started laying - some huge eggs already, but the SLW
are probably a week or two off.

Do they look ok? I may get some eggs off you soon, if that's ok? I got the r-com, but haven't used it yet. Having trouble getting rid of young roos at the moment, so am limiting my hatching.

Sorry to tell you, Satay, but I think you have me beat by heaps, in terms of numbers.

@Fancychooklady I think your photos would make great cards. I haven't found any but this for Easter that I like

lol they are moulting at the moment rexy. Haven't got an egg in a week now but as soon as they start again ill let you know and am happy to give you some.
The new lines aren't as dark as mine but he says they are from older hens. They were a gift so we will see how they go once hatched.

Thanks Sam. Yesterday I was laying in the grass ( as you do ) taking pics of the new slw chicks and Walter and his mate the duck kept photo bombing me.
Then the duck found the water fountain. So funny , he popped in and Walt stepped on a Lilly pad and attempted to follow. The little guy soon realized that he wasn't on solid ground and waited for ducky to finish her swim. Lucky I had the camera out. I will have to wait for my daughter to come home from college to get them uploaded. Watch this space!
