Can I put week olds with one 3 week old chick

Usually you will be ok, but I'd watch at first because sometimes, if there are too many younger ones they will gang up on an older one the same way older ones gang up on younger ones.

Yes, you can. Just keep an eye on them at first. There might me a little pecking order going on but usually not much at that age. The more room the better, I just put mine together outside for the first time in a dog run. They were so happy to be scratching around they didn't even notice each other. I'll bring them in later and probly separate them for the night and do the same thing tomorrow.

I did yesterday and it is going very well. The older chicks take care of the baby making sure she is warm. They lay their heads over the new babies body. It's so cute!
