    Three new chicks and two 8-9 week old pullets

    Can my chicks that are currently two weeks old be put in the coop and run with my 8-9 week old pullets(2)? I live in south Texas and it is 90 in the daytime and 70's at night...I was thinking maybe at three weeks? Does anyone have any experience with this...how do I add them in with the other two?
