Hi and

It shouldn't be a problem combining the two groups. To be extra careful, you might want to keep your cochin pullets separate for a day or two, especially if they were shipped. This would give them time to acclimate and get settled. One weeks difference in age isn't a problem. Good luck and share pictures with us!

I got three cochins today too. They are just precious little bundles!

Thank you so much! You put my mind at ease thought I'd have to build another brood (will have to make my current 1 bigger)! I love my chickies!
