how long?
« on: September 09, 2015, 11:47:55 am »
Ok guys so I am selling my faverolles this month to someone who really wants them. How long would it be before I could buy in some new hens?  I have seen a breeder who has some for sale, pol light Sussex. also would I need to absolutely fumegate everything?

Why would you need to wait/fumigate? Did you have problems with the faverolles?

No, no problems whatsoever. I just wondered if i should do it as a lot of people i know do it just to make sure. Does the ground need a rest though before the next lot? I'm going to scrub the house anyway though, as i always do it before i get any more chickens.

Poultry Shield if you like. Sort of depends on what issues exist and how much space you have. So, difficult to say.

The garden is quite exstensive, but a little poached, so might need a little rest. Am gonna reseed some of it wait till the grass grows then get them. Is that a good idea?

They'll peck new young grass straight out of the ground.  Can you contain them in a relatively unused area for a while at first?
