I am wondering how you (directed at everybody) handles bringing in a new chicken(s)?

What are your biosecurity measures?
How separated are the newbies from the established flock? Just wire separated between them or __ amount of feet away?
Do you change clothes between caring for the two groups?
If, after __ days of quarantine, how do you integrate?
I assume 30 days of quarantine, but what if new group falls ill or gets treatment? Is it 30 days after treatment?

This doesn't have to be the "recommended" biosecurity recommendations for new chickens. I have read through here about that.

I'm wondering about how you (y'all

) do it at your place.

Gout runs in my family. Kidney stones do not. I understood that gout was an autoimmune disease, like rheumatoid arthritis.

Not that I have ever heard...I was told it is a problem with the Uric acid that can build up or some such.
Geeze, don't tell my Dad that it is a auto immune disorder, he thinks I am a weak idiot (hyper condriac) and have every auto immune disorder that has ever been 'invented'.
I actually only have 1: Celiac Disease (but that has tons of symptoms) but I inherited it(the gene) from his side of the family, and his mother, my granny, had RA extremely bad, classic deformed fingers and toes from age 55 or so to age 70 or so..classic.
She also had dry eyes (Sjoren's (sp?) and cold sores which I now realize were from celiac disease as well.
They were not cold sores but dermititis herpetiformia...elbows, knees, mouth to rear end, depending how much wheat you ingest and how mad the immunal system attacks the entire GI system.

So the auto immune gene runs.....................but Dad will not admit it, he has gout BAD every so often so is on meds, and has monster kidney stones so big they have to be lasered to break them up and then he can pass them.
The one getting lasered next week was the size of a golfball...and this is the second time the doc will attempt to break it up.
It is horrible.

I could be mistaken about gout being an autoimmune disease. My poor mother has osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. I had celiac's disease as a child, but it seemed to go away after a couple of years, or maybe I'm just asymptomatic though the sores in the back of the mouth sound familiar. Time to go do some research.

Glad I'm not the only one looking forward to hearing what she finds!

Inquiring minds want to know.

There is no cure for this. Excerpt to get more chickens. (I think that should have been said in a creepy 1950's mechanical voice, maybe from speakers hidden in the walls.)

Okay okay I will go hunting soon.

Did I say that I am very good at avoiding things? DH is worrying that maybe the nasty little dogs dugs up the buried treasures of the lost meat birds. I am praying that the nasty little beasts are not big enough to move the cement blocks that was placed over that remains of the ghosts future dinners. I am going to need coffee first right? Okay I am going to have some coffee.......

Well.. I'm lost..

And too lazy to read back the like 200 pages I'm behind. Sooo just popping in to say I'm not dead, annnd that I know I have some Whidbey island folks to get in touch with for coffee.

Still kind of walking around in shock, but loving the island life. I do miss my chickens something fierce
