Can I mix 10x 1-day old chicks with my 10x 7-day old chicks in the same brooder ?

I’ve kept much older chicks with younger chicks with minimal problems.

Thanks ! I just don't know if the older ones would peck at/bully the baby ones.

I don’t think it’ll be a problem,not if there’s a group of younger ones.Hope this helped.

I have 7 6 week old chicks and 3 7 week old chicks that have have been together since they were 3 and 10 days old with no issues.

7 day olds and 1 day olds are still small enough that it's not likely to be a problem (I would still keep an eye on them for a while, just to make sure). If you tried to mix week olds with 5 week olds, it might be more of an issue.

When last I commingled the same age spread there was some initial pecking so I put a little fencing scrap in between the 2 groups. Within 5 mins the smaller ones found a gap and were running back and forth. They had a safe space to escape the bigger ones and within a few hours everyone was used to each other and I removed the fencing
