Chirping
I'm a first time chicken owner with 3 bantam chicks. I live on 2 acres however they will be confined to a 5m x 12m pen when they are ready to live outside. The people next door own a range of birds such as guinea fowl, geese, and turkeys which our pen is fairly close to. Their dogs have fleas meaning that they don't give them treatments for that so I'm not sure if any of their animals are vaccinated or anything. They would not have direct contact but should I still be worried? We will be moving away from this into the suburbs in about 9 months where vaccines will most likely not be needed so I'd rather avoid the cost if I can.
