I have 4 and half week and 2 and a half week old chicks in seperate brooders and I was wondering if I can put them together.

I think so...they are close enough in size that there shouldn't be a problem. Keep an eye on them for a little while, though. Good luck to you!
 
I put my 3 week chicks in with my 7 week chicks, and after a couple of hours they were fine, when I went to put them to bed they were all huddled up together bless them

If you are lucky sometimes the older chicks want to mother the younger set.
 
Mine that were two weeks apart got along great, but I ended up having to separate them into two brooders eventually because there were too many growing chicks in too small a space.
