Can I introduce week old chicks to 5 week old chicks of a different breed?
They may be okay if they are about the same size, but the may be strangers so you may need to introduce them in increments and keep an eye on them until they get used to each other. I don't know what your brooder or run set up is but if you were able to add a divider that would work best. Good luck!- MerazT

Chick temps
At 4 weeks they can withstand 70 degrees, I'd watch them to see if they huddle together , or piled on each other or just near each other. Good luck!- MerazT

Something wrong with my pullets?
Yes, I've never had chickens before and out of the small flock I have she seems different. seems she's always held her tail low... Her wings aren't always tight to her body either, maybe she isn't feeling well. Do you suggest anything? Do I let her be and keep an eye on her, could it be she...- MerazT

I am new to the chicken world, and hatched this girl on Easter this year. I don't know what kind breed is this, and as it's growing she concerns me a little. Can you help me with the breed? Does this hen look normal, why is her back feathers so big. When you touch her she's really not "chubby"...- MerazT

Do I have a Pullet?
I'm not certain on the age at all, I was given a couple black chicks on the fourth of July weekend and had another with a huge comb than began crowing. I gave away the Cockerel & kept the one I posted earlier. Here's a picture to show the 2 together..- MerazT
