I have 4 chicks that I received 10 days ago. I was going to go pick up 2 more of the same age (same place) and didn't know if it was okay to do so?
 
Should be fine since they are all young, same age, and you are getting them from the same place. I would just monitor their interaction. :o)
 
Usually you are fine so long as the oldest chicks are under a month old. I have added day old chicks to two week old chicks, two week olds to two week olds from different places, and day old to one week old. All got a long and within hours acted as they were that way from the start. Just like anything watch interactions to be on the safe side.
