Adding more to a 6 week old flock

[Countrydreamin]

Can I add some more 6 week old chicks to the two six week old chicks I already have?

Not a problem. Just expect a little bit of pecking from the home crew. It's more ritual than aggression, but be ready to referee. At this age chicks are pretty accepting as long as they're all the same size.

I add to broods quite often, with up to 3+ weeks age difference. I'm watchful and would intercede if needed, but have never had an issue.

Thanks. I was thinking about letting them watch each other for a few days and then let them be together.

Thanks. I will dedicate a few days to it
