Can I put 2 week chicks with my other 3 week chicks?

Ok all, I can't post pictures for some reason, so I'll have to get your advice without pictures... I bought 5 chicks from a farm about 1 1/2 Weeks ago... The chicks were advertised as being 1-3 Weeks old... So I'm not really sure how old they are... They just started getting feathers last week and as of Friday one of the "hens" has a pretty pronounced comb and was attempting to crow... The others are just getting their Combs now... I'm thinking they're around 3-4 Weeks now...

I'm going to be adopting 4 more 2 week old Easter eggers on Thursday... Can I put then in together since they're all so young? Please say yes! (if they're all together I'm thinking hubby might not notice that they've multiplied!?)

I think it should be fine, especially since the number of new chicks is comparable to the existing ones. I added two four week old silkies to my batch of six three week olds with no problem - just tossed them in there.
Of course watch them like a hawk at first to make sure there is no aggression - a little bit of challenging is okay, but if one starts to be ganged up on, you will need to separate your brooder into two sections. If you use a screen to do that, so the chicks can see each other, they should get used to hanging out within a short while.
