introducing chicks

[christyszoo]

I have 11 silkie chicks that are from 2 days old to 4 days old that hatched in thr bator. A silkie chick hatched outside yesterday. What's the chance I could intro the 11 and all be fine???
They stink so bad when they get bigger inside and my garage has a ratsnake visitor every year and he's back. So can't put them out there b/c they'll get eaten.

I don't think you'd have a problem with that many being the same age, we're having trouble integrating a 2wk old with 5 wk olds, they like to peck her...I'm no expert so hopefully others will chime in, but I think our problem is the age/size problem...Plus the other 2 are like siamese twins, never apart...

I was thinking I could since they are closer to age.
Think I have another one hatched out there? Heard more chirping. Tell ya my silkies are sneaky b/c they must have buried these eggs in the house since I have been pulling eggs from the time I was gonna incubate them.
