Introducing 4 day old chicks

[SpotTheCat]

I have one lonely chick (because it was the only one to hatch) we will be getting six new friends for it soon, do I need to do anything special to introduce them? They are all about 4 days old

Unlike adults, chicks are fine to just put in together. We hatched some chicks last week and some this week. The younger ones were just put in with the older ones. I wouldn't put chicks with more than a week's age difference (because of the massive size difference) but since they are all the same/similar age they should be good

Thank you!

Yep, as said above, they should be fine - might not hurt to watch them for a bit once the introductions start...
