Can you tell me the benefit of diluting it 10:1 first? So it’s essentially .5ml straight or 1 ml diluted. Correct?

We have 5, 30 week old hens (2 black austrolorps and 3 easter eggers) The farm down the street was selling some of their 2 1/2 RIR to replenish their flock. I brought 8 of them home along with a young (under a year) Black Austrolorp rooster. HHHHOOOOWWWW do I mix these flocks? Should I mix the...
