Howdy y'all
My coop is up, I have most of my supplies I'll need, and my chicks will be delivered in mid-April! I'm so excited!! I've searched this site for an answer to my question, but couldn't find anything...so I hope you'll forgive me if this has already been addressed. I ordered 8 chicks...5 are full-size and 3 are bantams. I ordered vaccination for them, but they don't vaccinate the bantams. I've read that the vaccinated chicks should be quarantined at first, but how do you quarantine them from each other? If they were shipped together, haven't they already been in contact enough to do any damage? Or is it only necessary to quarantine them from older birds, which I don't have? Also...why can't the bantams be vaccinated as well? Thanks in advance!
