Can You Mix Chicks Of Different Ages Together

[sckuntry]

I bought 10 chicks from the feed store last week. I would like to know if I buy some more today. Can put them together under the same light/heat source?

Usually they do fine as long as all are under one month old.

I have integrated chicks with no problems up to about 3 weeks difference in age. But for some reason, once they hit that 4 week age difference, I have always had problems and had to separate them. You should be absolutely fine with just a week or so difference.

Thanks for answering so fast. I will go down and buy some more today.
