Mar 8, 2012 #1 peep peep In the Brooder 7 Years Mar 7, 2012 41 1 24 Georgia I have 2 silkie chicks and one showgirl that are all 1 1/2 weeks old. Tomorrow, I'm getting 2 more silkies, but these are 2 weeks old and from a different breeder. Can I put these chicks in the same brooder as my 1 1/2 week year olds?
