3 week flock and 3 day flock

[mlanyi4]

Hey!
Got 4 new chicks today (2 Wyandotte and 2 RIR). After about 24hrs, to settle from being new, are they ok to integrate to my 3 week flock currently in the brooder?
Thanks!

I would wait until the new chicks have grown some. With this size difference and their young age, there is a possibility that they might be trampled by the bigger chicks.

I agree..

And keep them within sight of each other for integration helps (think divided brooder, see no touch)
