mixing baby chicks at different ages

[monica9321]

I have 6 chicks that are 1&1/2 weeks old qnd 2 that are a week old I want to add 2 more tomorrow. Will there be problems? There wasn't any when I added the other younger chicks.

Welcome to BYC!! You shouldn't have any problems at all since they are that young! I mixed 10 two week old RIR's with 5 three week old Doms they turned out just fine, best of friends now!

I agree; your chicks should get along fine. )
