Hi,
We have 4 chicks-hatch date 4/16. 2 Orpingtons, an Australorp and a Cochin. We are debating the 5th and final-a Red Star but have to order from Murray McMurray and she will be shipped this week.
Our flock seems very peaceful and calm these days. Wound up with a rooster and had to take him back and got the Cochin last Sunday so there's been some shuffling of chicks. But zero issues that we could see.
Also, Murray can't guarantee the 4 week old-may be a week older or younger than the others.
At the 4 week mark, what is the likelihood of major chaos with introducing a new chick? Any suggestions and/or advice is appreciated. Thanks!
