In the Brooder
I recently acquired a New Hampshire Red Rooster from a reputable source at a local swap meet. He is currently in isolation for at least a couple weeks as a precaution. My intent was to breed my own black, and eventually red sex links. I am planning on replenishing my aging layer flock while mostly cooking excess cockerals (for soups and such). Should I expect to be able to keep him with breeds like Barred or white Plymouth rocks, or should I plan on keeping him separate, except for breeding. My layer flock consists of Barred Rocks, Whiting True Blues, Red Sex-Links, Brown Leghorns, and a Minorca. Just wondering if I should build a new enclosure while he is in quarantine. Thanks in advance for your replies, I am finding this site to be a valuable resource.
