Hey everyone! I am getting 7 Australorp chicks (6 female, 1 roo) on the 30th of April (hatch date 4/29). A friend of mine has a small flock of buff orps and 12 eggs that will hatch in 2 days. I am thinking of asking if I can have a couple to add to the lorps - although the buffs will be a week older. My friend has no other chickens (just 4 hens and a roo) and has had them for a good while - they all look very healthy. Do you see any problems with combining them (other than they won't be sexed like the Lorps)?
