Chicken math! Will they be ok?

[t_4_turtle]

Quick question: will this new baby be ok with the older ones?

Story: We got 4 feed store chicks, needed a lot of nursing back to health (post office was a day late, most didn't make it, feed store guy was upset more than 1/2 were doa)
All 4 are doing great and about to be 3 weeks old.
Welp chicken math happened (I'm sure you guys are experts ) when i stopped into the feed store to grab more chick starter...and boom. We added 1 more to the bunch. Now we have 5.

This new chick is probably a week old if that? Will she be ok all together with the other 4 (3 weekers)?

If they are together now and seem fine, they will probably continue to be fine.

There is some risk of the little one getting squished or stepped on, but that risk goes down with every day that passes (because the little one keeps getting bigger and stronger.)

I put 5 newly hatched chicks (day old) with my 2 week old birds. The older birds kinda became protective of the littles and started showing them how to chicken. It's really funny to see how they act with one another.
