Intro chicks to chicks

[Chelie97]

I received 5 chicks from a friend and 4 turned out to be male. I am not keeping the males so that leaves me with one female 8 week old chick. I dont want her to be introduced to my older flock alone so I just got more babies that are about a week old. Any ideas how to introduce my one 8 week old to the 6 one week old chicks.

Unfortunately, they will all need to be kept separate. Those ages are just too different. Once the 8 week old is bigger then you can do some test ‘field trips’ with the older flock or do the look-dont-touch method. The babies will need to remain separate.
