Combining Chicks

[mylilchix]

We have 9 sweet babies that turned one week old on Monday. I have 9 more babies coming in the mail this Thursday or Friday. Can I add the the 9 new babies with my existing flock or will I need to seperate them? I want them to grow up together, so they're all friends!

Thanks for the advice!!

I'm not an expert but I successfully added new chicks with my week old TSC chicks with no problem. Just watch them to make sure the new ones are getting to eat and drink and are not getting overly picked upon. Good luck.

I had three batches that I combined the first one had 3 frizzles and two ??s from the flea market, the second(a week later) from MMM, Then third third a week after that from Ideal. The last order I put in a small bin in the box with the rest for a few days before I let them mingle. All get along fine.

I did the exact same thing and i added them. They all did fine together.
