A week ago I hatched some baby chicks, but today I went into cal ranch and they had some chicks called Sapphire gems. I couldn't help myself and I bought 2. When I went to go put them in all the older chicks started picking on the new ones. They're in a separate little box right now, but how can I mix the two little chick flocks? Theres 18, week old chicks and 2, 4-5 day old chicks.
 
Do they need to live together if so wait till the little guys get a bit older and maybe if you have some extra chicken wire on hand you could make a divider and take it out when they get used to eachother that's what I would do
