Adding new chicks to my flock

[Picturebug]

We started with 6 chickens last year and I am interested in adding more chicks this spring. Is it ok to mix chicks with year old chickens?

Big chickens pick on little chickens. Adding chicks to an established flock is never a good idea unless a hen is raising them in the flock. Generally new birds should be almost as large as the birds in the established flock before integrating them.
