Alright. Thanks for your input. My 7 week olds are still in a separate grow out pen so we'll see how things go as they all get older. I got a post from aart one day that said it might take up to a year to see how they'll all get along. Also don't want my hens getting stressed out if there's too...

I am so excited waiting for May 2nd to come! 6 wellies straight run ordered. Actually hoping for a rooster or 2- very handsome! Can't wait to start getting those dark brown speckled eggs and the hens are nice looking too
Thanks so much for you post littlerae 11. Sorry for your losses & glad your other 3 chicks are doing well. I'm expecting 6 chicks in May & hope they all get here safely. Thanks for the info on being prepared to do some nursing w the chicks when they arrive. Good stuff to know beforehand.
