I have 3 groups I have together that are all a week apart. I haven't had a problem. But if you are they will pile up and smother the younger chicks

i'd keep them separate for just a few days, till they puff out and get slightly larger so the older ones don't smother. generally i don't put chicks further then 5-7 days apart together, size can become a problem, but thats mainly in coturnix, so in gambels you should be fine

Thanks, they are so little right now compared to the others, so will keep them seperated for a few days, don't want my babies smothered!
