Ages and Timing

[Ellochicken]

I'm in a bit of a sticky situation...
My dads friend is offering my family some cream leg bars, and they hatched last Tuesday, and we won't be able to make room for them until this weekend, and we wouldn't be able to get the rest of the chicks we need until next weekend (if you're confused, please comment below and I'll explain more) so I need some motherly hen advice.
Would a 2 week difference going to be a big deal between the 2 week olds and the day-old baby chicks? Will they hurt or possibly kill each other?
I've raised chicks before, but not with this kind of situation.
Any comment below is incredibly appreciated!

Thank you!

I find myself in your situation pretty often since I'm hatching all spring. Newborns need to be by themselves for maybe 2 weeks and then they can be put with ones up to 3 weeks older than them. Newborns need to sleep a lot more than the older ones and they need to have enough strength to get out of the way. There will be different heat needs so I use two lamps, one with a higher wattage bulb, so they can all find someplace comfortable. A cardboard box can be used for newborns until they are old enough to be with the others.
Right now I have 3 cages of little ones ranging in age from 7 days to 15 days. They will all be put out into my big brooder together when the youngest are 2 weeks old.

Thank you so much for this valuable information! Do the chicks usually tend to get along when they finally get put together if they're kept in bins that are close to each other and where they can see each other, or does it not really matter?
Thank you for getting back to me so soon!

All three of my cages are next to each other in the living room. They can hear but not see the others. I don't think it matters. Once they are put together they all find their place in the pecking order pretty quick. Just watch for bullies the first few days.
