I Need Some Advice, Please

[JerryO]

I am a complete newbie to chickens, but after reading every book I could get my hands on and spending hours here at BYC, I've decided to jump in with both feet. I have 12 Red Star chicks and 13 White Leghorn chicks on their way, all females, but I never gave it a thought when I ordered them. Do I need to keep them separated?
If so it's not a problem, I'm just wondering. Thanks.

They will do just fine all together in the same brooder and the same coop. I have a mixed flock of layers because I like to see all the different colored girls together.

the only reason to keep them seperate is if you breed them for babies and want to keep the blood lie pure other then that they will be fine together.

Red stars are a mutt chicken. They are a cross between a RIR and a leghorn. They are a sex-link and are sexed at hatch by their color. They are often found listed also as 'red sex-links'.

My mixed breeds always do very well together. Good luck with them
