Hello!
So I purchased 4 chicks a few weeks ago. They are 8-9 weeks old. I want to purchase a few more. Is it ok to use the same brooder or will I have issues with the older chicks attacking the younger ones? The older chicks are almost ready to be outside without a heat source (I suspect it is already ok but I am somewhat nervous). I only have one heating plate or else I would just do two separate brooders.
