Integrating day-old chicks into a brooder with 3-week old chicks?

[Pullet Press]

Tomorrow I'm supposed to be getting some more chicks, and I only have one brooder. I currently have 4 3-week old chicks in the brooder and was wondering if they could be put in there, or if I'll need to prepare another brooder. Thanks in advance!

I would use another brooder to be safe.

Chicks can be vicious sometimes I would definitely have another brooder Available if you have To seperate them.

If your brooder is large enough you can also divide it with wire mesh, that way the chicks can get used to each other while the younger ones stay safe.
