Quarantine period- how long?

[KrystinaMayKennedy]

Hello! I got 3 week old chicks from our local feed store about 2 weeks ago- they are set up and still indoors. Today I just picked up a single Salmon Faverolle of the same age from another farm. I currently have them separate- how long should I wait before I introduce. I purposely got them at the same age so they could grow up together. Is a week long enough?
thanks in advance!

Since you got the chicks from 2 different places. They need to remain separated for a month and monitored. Look for health issues and pasty butts during this time period, so your not introducing potential diseases to one another.

X2. 30 days is really the accepted standard for quarantine. Best of luck!
