Introducing new poults

[Lexiluke]

I currently have 5-two week old BBB in a brooder. They are doing fantastic and are already in need of putting a cover over them (2 ft high). I am picking up 5 bourbon reds in the morning and am wondering if they would be ok in the same brooder or if I should separate them until it is time to go into their new pen/coop (which they will be sharing). There is only 1 1/2 weeks of an age difference but I am worried. I have set up a temp brooder next to the others and have another lamp already on making it nice and toasty. So, what do you think? Thanks in advance.

I have not had trouble mixing different-aged poults. A few weeks shouldn't make much of a difference to them!
