Quarantine or no?

[NeeleysAVLChicks]

I've got 8 4-wk old chicks in the brooder about to head out this weekend to the grow out coop. I just found a guy down the road with 2 beautiful Marans of about the same age that I'm thinking about picking up. They've been in his brooder and have yet to go outside/be with his grown chickens. Do I need to quarantine or since they've only been in the brooder, is it ok to just add in with my other little girls?

Thanks!!

I would still quarantine them, just to be on the safe side.

Better safe, than sorry....

Thanks guys, that's what I was thinking, just wasn't sure if there was an exception for the "still in the brooder" stage.

Always quarantine!
