Flock Integration Service

We introduce new chickens to an existing flock. Many newer poultry flock owners are surprised to learn that new hens, roosters, and chicks cannot simply be added to their flock without preparation and precaution. Instead, the integration process must be gradually deployed to the new chickens; current chickens have the greatest chances of a smoother transition.

Integrate Chickens into an Established Flock

Our experts provide the proper process of flock integration. Before we integrate mature birds into your existing flock, you want to quarantine the new birds for a period of at least 2 weeks. A two-week quarantine period allows you to monitor the new birds for signs of disease or parasites that they could potentially introduce to your flock. Keep the new birds completely separate from your existing flock during their quarantine period.  

If you see signs of sickness or parasites, you will want to treat the new chickens before integrating them into your flock. After 2 to 3 weeks, if the new chickens seem healthy and are parasite free, they can be integrated into your flock safely!
