    Can I add a few new chicks to chicks currently in my brooder?

    Thank you! I noticed that with the chicks I currently have, they don't want it as hot as it is 'supposed' to be. So I do the same, just put it where they are comfortable. But in the beginning they liked it hot. That's why I wasn't sure. A lot of good advice. I really appreciate it!

    Can I add a few new chicks to chicks currently in my brooder?

    One more question! Do I raise the temp back up to 95 with the new chicks? My current chicks are at 90 degrees going down to 85 on Wednesday. Not sure how to handle the temperature between the two in the same brooder.

    One chick sleeps more than the rest!

    I just got my 4 chicks yesterday. They all seem healthy and active, however one sleeps more than the rest. The smallest chick, she is an australorp. Like I said she does run around, eat, sleep, and poop. Is it possible that one of the 4 just needs/likes to sleep more than the others? Im new to...
