Brooding chicks

[Ron J]

Can chicks hatched on the 13th go in the same brooder as chicks hatched on the 17th?

Usually, yes.

this batch is a 4 day spread .. i have 4 more eggs i staggered coming in several days, note the quarantine area lol .. it can go either way as far as who is in it for a few hours .. the main issue is i dont want a wobbly fresh hatch getting mobbed and picked at until its got its bearings enough to move around well ... caught this pic in a siesta moment, theyre running around good though ..

Thanks that was our inclination too was to ensure any that are wobbly and need a little time to "catch up" to be protected. Great pic!
