Hello all!
I was planning to try and get my stubborn broody to adopt some chicks I have coming when a thought came to mind.
Is this a biosecurity issue?
Is introducing my healthy hen to hatchery chicks a biosecurity problem? Is it likely the chicks will be carriers of anything at such a young age?
Do you think the risk is worth it? Realistically, they would be integrated into the flock anyway, it's just a matter of adoption by a broody hen or brooder box.
Any advice is welcome!
Thanks!
