Bringing in new chickens to our flock

The standard practice is to quarantine for 4 weeks before introducing them to the others. This prevent spread of disease.
You should quarantine them for at LEAST 3-4 weeks, check for lice/mites, dust them well even if you don't see any, deworm while they are in quarantine. Once quarantine is over, introduce them gradually.

Well, it will give you a good idea if they are incubating something that they are going to come down with, but any birds that you introduce could be carriers of something that they have already recovered from. Quarantine doesn't "prevent" disease, it just gives you a better chance of not losing all your existing flock to something that the new bird might have.
