Hi,
I'd like to hear the advice of others please. I have 3 three month old chicks - 2 roos and just the 1 pullet. I'm wanting to add to my flock and am thinking about getting another 3 pullets (9 or 10 week olds) from the same farm that the original 3 came from. My question is: is it still necessary to quarantine the new chicks for 30 days?
As all chicks come from the same farm I'm hoping I might just be able to put the new chicks in a dog crate in the chicken coop with the older birds. What do you all think?
Thanks for your help with this....
