I have three 3-week old bantam silkies I’ve had since they were 1 day old. I am getting four bantam Ameraucanas on Sunday that were born this Monday. So the new chicks will be six days old and my older chicks will be 3.5 weeks.
I’m planning to spend the whole day Sunday being able to monitor/introduce the new chicks into the brooder. I’m planning to set up a divider so they can see each other but not peck, and have it so both sides have access to food and water.
Any advice on the initial introduction? Tips for success?
