Chickens are a gateway to other fowl and animals, so you are with likeminded friends here.

I just want to suggest, when getting new to you, rehomed chickens from sources you don't know, the new flock members always should be quarantined for at least 2 weeks- to a month, monitored. There are many diseases out there that can be super contagious- and some incurable. Some you might not even know it if the chicken is actually a carrier. It can take a very short time to completely decimate a flock.

We had scaly leg mites, and very bad worms (from a top breeder's birds) that nearly killed one new rooster with worm overload when we wormed him. We caught the issues while they were all quarantined before being added to the flock. She had no idea she had these issues. I'm just suggesting, educate yourself through this site as there many great threads, *know* what to look for, then, proceed with caution.

Best of luck!!!
 
Thank you for the information. I made a account after reading this site for about a year. In all honesty for those reason I would be afraid to ever take in a foreign bird. I'm not one to jump any thing without doing research. I custom welded my main coop up after many 100s of hours reading up on this site and others. :)
 
Welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join our flock. We are all addicted to chickens around here and very few of us are immune to chicken math. :eek:) Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.
 
I ordered 4 broad breasted bronze from ideal(3 poults/1 jake). I actually got a nice surprise with the order. In the middle of June they sent 9 roos to "keep them warm". Lol They didn't realize this part, but they only sent 8 roos and 1 pullet. :D I got 8 free meat birds and a free layer. I'm happy
