Good luck!

Maybe put a small divider in the brooder? Something that can see each other but not touch each other. Like hardware cloth or something. Then if they seem okay with each other you can let them be together. ORRR, you could let them go together and see how they act. They could be just fine, but you'd want to make sure before you leave!

Awwww. They should be okay. Check up on them as much as possible, but don't worry yourself too much! Btw, I love your heater for the chicks, I need to get myself one of those, and get rid of my heat lamp!
Good luck!

Have you tried putting a divider in ttjhere? I would just let them do there thing and only intervene when absolutely necessary.
