How do you quarantine one new bird?- UPDATED pics. How does she look?

Do I really need to treat for worms if no sign of them? I have not treated my chickens at all. I made a post asking if I should and the answer I got was no, unless there is a sign of worms.

Well, this is different. You have no idea about where she was living and being managed-not everyone keeps their birds the same way you would, remember- so quarantine is the perfect time to treat her, in case she might deposit something on your place that wasn't there before. It's not going to hurt her to do that during quarantine.

Ok I will do that. Thank you! If she starts laying how long should I not eat her eggs after she is wormed?

 

[speckledhen]

I usually wait about a week. Some may wait two. Some don't wait at all, but I'd do a week or so at least.

Thank you speckled hen! You have been very helpful.
Thanks to everyone else as well, all the answers helped me. The new bird is being dropped off today and she will be quarantined and treated.

Ironicaly, I just found a worm in one of my birds poop. :/ looks like I will be treating everyone. I just posted this thread with questions about it,

Here are some pics of the new bird. I was wondering if you guys could tell me how she looks, and if she appears to have scaley leg mites. Also, could it be she is a true Ameraucana?

 

[speckledhen]

She does not seem to have leg mites.

No, she is not a true Ameraucana-her skin is yellow, so her legs are greenish-looking. Ameraucanas have white skin and slate legs. She's really super-pretty, though!

Thanks for answering all my questions speckledhen!
I have her quarantined in the garage as many suggested but luckily she looks well kept. She is even pretty tame. The guy seemed like a real chicken lover.
I don't know if any of my chickens have worms like I previously said but I think I will put some worm stuff in their water, as well as my new hen. It couldn't hurt right?
One last question, does anyone know if ducks can drink the water with dewormer in it?

Nothing to add of value, but what a great find, she's so pretty!

I'm sorry, I don't know about ducks, what they can or cannot have.

On rare occasions when I do worm birds, I worm mine with Invermectin Pour On, which is oil based and you put a few drops on the back of the neck skin. It works well if you have only a few to do and not an entire flock (well, I have done my entire flock with that, too)
