I've got 2 hens I'm hoping to keep- one has had pox for about 3 weeks and the other seems to be developing them. They appear to be fine except for a few pox on their combs. Problem is I need to make introductions to my 3.5 weeks old chicks- and have them move into together soon! Do I give up my sweet hens to protect the chicks? I dont have anywhere to keep them separated.
What would you do? Suggestions? ETA-Would you give back the hens youre in love with to protect the little ones (that youre also in love with), or risk giving the little ones pox, in hopes they just get the minor skin version the hens have????
