I have two hens on a nest that started hatching eggs today. I expect to have 6-8 new chicks over the next couple of days. I am considering purchasing some chicks that were hatched 3-4 days ago and introducing them to the new chicks and hens, hoping the hens will raise them. Is this a bad idea? My reasoning is to add a new breed to my flock. Thanks
