Question about bringing new birds into the flock... I have my 4 new (adult) hens in the chicken tractor for quarantine, two of them are kind of dirty (looks to me like they may have been in a muddy run with a rooster iykwim, lol) and one of them has a dirty butt. I'm going to give them a bath tonight and check out their butts, especially the one with a dirty butt. I was planning to add cayenne to their food since it's supposed to help with cocci (in case that's the cause of the dirty butt and also just because the bacteria on my yard is different from what they are used to). Anything else I should check for or special herbs or anything I should feed them?
Typical quarantine is 2 weeks, right? Romeo already broke out of his run today to try to meet the new girls, lol.
