I tried to search for info first and couldn't find anything. I have 6 wk old standard size chicks. I want to get some egg laying age bantams. Since they will be about the same size, do you think they would get along OK? I'm going to look on C.L. for chickens. How long for quarantine? About 4 wks?
I have broodies who kick their babies away at 6 weeks. the babies do fine. They will stick to themselves and eventually establish their place in the pecking order, but they should be fine. They recommend 4-6 weeks for quarantine. Edited b/c my fingers were on the wrong keys.
