Newbie here,
We got 4 egg layer chicks 2 weeks ago. We figured out 2 are rooms today we want to get a couple more tonight. Can we get 2-3 more babies and put them in the same box with the bigger ones? We wanted 4 layers and I don't want to buy another box/lamp if I don't have to. I added a photo of the ones I currently have for size...
Thanks!

I wouldn't put younger ones in with the older ones. They are so much bigger & can hurt the smaller ones quite easily. Maybe wait until you put this batch in the coop and then get another set. You could look into 4 week integration methods to make the integration process easier with he second batch.
