How old are your chicks? I started integrating at 4 weeks. Here's some of them at 6 weeks. It has worked real good integrating this young. I also raised them in the coop brooder, which I'm sure helped even more.

Yeppers! All Flock is all I've ever fed.Many of us switch to an all flock feed, sometimes for good.
Integrating the 2 groups of chicks may be a challenge...4 weeks is a pretty big age gap. It may go great, but be prepared to brood separately for a time and do some 'Chick Juggling'.I will be getting 3 chick's in about 2 weeks, and another 3 in a month. I will have the brooder in the coop from the start. I will be using the heating pad for the first time. Heat lamps seem to have too many risks. Just wish this winter cold would give up and give spring a chance.
