I'm thinking of adding some newly hatched chicks to an existing brooder that has 6 chicks already. The existing chicks were hatched 12 days ago and the confrontational aspects of their nature seem to have already begun to develop. With respect to the success of the operation, what would be the ideal number of newly hatched to add? I figure too few and they could get ganged up on, but maybe there would be issues with adding too many as well - perhaps they would be seen as more of a threat. If anyone has any experience with such, I would appreciate any insights you would be able to provide. Thanks in advance.
