Can you house RK bought chicks with hatched chicks?

[Chicken lawyer]

We bought RK chicks and then hatched a few from our own eggs. They are currently housed separately. Can they be put together? Is there any potential problems? Thanks!

You can put them together. How old are they, and what's the age difference?

Only a week difference. Our hatched aren't vaccinated andnI didn't knownif RK did and if they did if that would cause an issue.

No that wouldn't be an issue. Chicks aren't big bullies at that age, but watch them for a while just in case.

You can put 2 boxes next to each other with a screen or lace, between. I have done this for a while if they have an age difference, or a hurt foot.

I don’t think rural king chicks are vaccinated
