adding chicks with chicks

[Yoshih]

Hi I received 3 day old chicks on Wednesday and regret not getting 3 light Brahma chicks. If I can find them, can I introduce them with my chicks without any problems or do I need to slowly introduce them, thanks

I got 6 chicks one day, and then in the next 2-3 days we decided to get one more, I just plopped her in and she was totally ignored, they didn’t even notice, although she cried for a long time that day, she definitely noticed, but that night she quieted down and now she is fine.

Depends on how old they all are - honestly with younger birds I'd just stick them all together, they don't really have an established pecking order until they're older.

I have had issues with chicks that were a week or two apart, but younger than that and they won't notice much.

Have had it go very well....and not at all.
Go ahead an put them together, but always have an alternate enclosure in case it goes sideways.
