We are planning on getting 5-6 more chicks in the next few weeks. Problem is in order to get the ones we want, they might be a 2-3 week difference in age in age for a couple of them. I really want to brood them together, but I guess I could separate them if absolutely necessary. Once they are old enough, I want to integrate the new chicks into an existing flock of 3 hens who were ll brought up together. They will be about 10 months old when we put them together. They will be separated for a while, but able to interact through a fence.
Can I put chicks of different ages together in a brooder. I have heard no problem and I have heard don't do it.
Thanks!
***EDIT*** They will all be pullets
