So we hatched our first ever chicks the past few days. I have in the brooder now 3 chicks ranging from 36 hrs old to 19 hrs old.. I now have in a seperate box inside the brooder 2 chicks that are both roughly 9 hrs old both hatched with unabsorbed yolk sacks they aren't all that strong yet so I didn't want them with the others. In the hatcher still is one that is about 3 hrs old and one about to hatch.

Will I be able to put everyone together in the next couple of days?
 
I've had success combining chicks as much as a week apart in age. I would wait until the yolk is absorbed, though. Good Luck!
