So there are three free hens on craigslist and I think I want them but I am not sure. We don't know if they are going to give our chickens diseases. They are our pets and we love them. But we are looking to expand our flock ( we have 20 right now) 6 are babies we got yesterday (also from craigslist). SO if anyone has done something like this before. Can you help me decide if this is a good idea. We are also getting 6 more baby chickens on monday (3 rir and 3 barred rocks) I know that the new pecking order will last a week. Also here are pictures just in case they look weird i am not an expert in chickens and I don't want my chickens to die or anythign like that please explain what to do. ALso I know they say to isolate them for four weeks because the stress could bring back diseases or sickness they were fighting off. And to adapt but we have two connected coops and don't really have money to do it, and if we do get them could someone find something cheap to make or buy for isolating them for four weeks?
THey took the listing down so I can't get them even if I wanted to.
