Introducing different age chicks?

[Avaia666]

So i have two 5 - 6 week old Brahmas which Arrived lastnight, and on tuesday coming up I have 2 white sex link chicks and 3 black sex link chicks (day olds) arriving as well....I will be having them all live together and was wondering how I should go about introducing them? What should I be careful of ? Should I wait until the day olds are a certain age before introducing them to the young Brahmas? Im just afraid of i do that then the Brahmas will already be even larger then they are now. Etc etc. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!

To big of an age difference you need to keep at least a fence between then untill they are close to the same size

x2, I agree

So just a thought for when you might be able to fully introduce them. I have some 5week chicks and some 9 wks chicks that are just recently close to the same size. It's not a perfect match but with the 5-6 week age difference by time the hatchlings are about 5-6 weeks old and ready to live outside they should be close enough in size to avoid issues. However introduction should still be slow with a safety pen/area for a few day or more while they adjust to eather presence, and safety areas they can hide to seperate themselves from the other chicks.
