thanks chick magnet I have 10 babies right now I was thinking of getting six more but I was also considering waiting till next year is it hard to integrated new chicks with year old ones ?

You will not be able to integrate them as chicks unless you have a broody hen who accepts them. Otherwise you will need to wait until they are more similar in size. I would say 3 months ish is when I generally will integrate. Chickens are likely to kill young chicks if you just put them all together.
