i did that , I bought chicks a week apart in 3 different groups of chicks from 3 different feed stores & 3 different breeds, i kept the 1 week old barred rock chicks in with my younger sliver laced wyandotts but kept the other group of 3 week old ones apart in a different pen & kept them all in my kitchen in play pens, that worked really well, but if it looks like the older chicks are to ruff for the younger ones I would separate them...! but let them see each other at least, I LOVED that great info on spring greens good for chickens, but about the Lambs quarters aka Fat Hen Weed , i will eat that weed first ,before the chickens could even find it, we loved that wild green & would pick & eat it as fast as it will grow, and even when it gets older & is over 2 feet tall we pick the tender tops off ,filling up paper shopping bags full as long as those greens will grow, we will eat them..!!!!
take care all
Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful.
