Well there is some type of chicken farm going out of buisness near here in MA.There are about 16,000 chickens there and they are offering them for free,free bird and free shipping.They are brown egg layers and are about 2 years old.I was planning on getting baby chicks but I have decided against it.I think getting 3 poor hens destined for the pot pie is better.I also wont have to go through all brooding and raising of the chicks.So how long should I quarintine them?Ill give them an extra big run all to themselves so they can stretch there legs out.Im probably only gonna get 3 becouse thats the most I can have at the moment with my other chickens.
