I am hoping to get some new chickens in a few days from a fellow BYCer and I am very excited! To properly quarantine them do they have to be totally separate from my flock or can they be in a holding pen inside the coop? I know this might be a dumb question but the only other place to keep them is in the house and one is a rooster!
My other question is since one is a rooster is there a way to introduce him to my other bantam rooster (one coming is a silkie and mine is a cochin)
My plan is to have the bantams possibly separate from my standards I have 2 polish pullets and getting 2 silkie hens and one cochin roo and one silkie roo. Is this possible or will I just have to keep the roosters separate?
