Introducing new chicks

[dhorse620]

I have a silly question I'm sure. I'm new to having chickens and just want to make sure I do this right. I had a predator get a few of my chicks but I have 2, 9 week old chickens left. My neighbor is trying to rehome a 15 week old cockrell and I would like to introduce some younger Pullets. They are currently 3 weeks old. I'm not going to introduce them for awhile yet but I'm wondering if I can put them all together here in a few weeks after they get to see/hear each other for a few weeks or do I need to put them in separate coups and runs because their age difference? The cockrell is a salmon favorelles and the pullets are a mix

Yes. Keep them separate but still within an area to which they can see each other. After a couple weeks you can slowly start mixing them. NOTE:Be sure to quarantine the new ones for about two weeks to insure that they aren't sick.
