QUESTION ABOUT QUARANTINE
Not sure how to edit title.
I bought 4 Buff Orp hens Mar. 5 I have 4 adults,2 SLW,and 2 roos.EE and Buff Orp. I got a TSC coop recently,and set it all up for the EE and 2SLW. The quarantine area the 4 orp hens are in is great,but not this time of year. I just cleaned their area,and had to flip the dirt,it's so swampy and messy,to the point their sleeping area inside has damp woodchips. Now,they have all been given ivermectin on their skin,wormer for 3 days,and Tylan for 5.Kinda like a tuneup after buying a used car,lol! It's been 13 days,and all seem healthy. I was thinking about movimg everyone around this weekend. Would a 2 wk quarantine be too soon? I know some things can show up after stress,but I figure I would have seen something by now after the car ride and bringing them to their new home. This next move shouldn't be as stressful. They will have much more room,and a much cleaner area. They aren't laying,but would also like my orp roo to be ok with them before they start.
