Hi all,
I'll be driving around today picking up 5 silkies from 3 different places to add to my flock (they are SO hard to find in my area!) I know you're supposed to quarantine for 30 days to ensure the birds are not sick/diseased.. how many people actually do this? I'll certainly keep them separate from my current flock of 6 (including 2 roos), but I'd like to at least keep them in cages IN the coop (which is apparently a no-no according to the 30 day rule). What do you think? What would/do you do??
Thanks in advance!
