Good luck with your new girls, have you got a separate coop for them to be quarantined for a few weeks?

Post by: YoungChickenLover on February 14, 2012, 22:28: Going to keep them away from our current flock for a while, as a precaution.

Ice: Thank you!

Post by: YoungChickenLover on February 15, 2012, 10:05: We're worming our current girls with Marriges feed, which has Flubnvert already mixed in, so will give the newbies that for a while.

Read this on another posting "I host mine on photo bucket and embed a link on the forum, you get really big photos then. You can get photobucket for iPad as well."

Hope it helps. :)
