Am I crazy/ will this not go well to let these chicks mix in with these pullets? I have 2 pullets about 8-10 weeks old and I have 3, 4 week old chicks all in the same coop as of a few hours ago. They all are seeming fine, sharing food, sharing space no fighting or picking on as of now. Would they be showing signs of bullying already or should I just find a way to completely separate? I have 2 foods and 2 waters so they can stay apart if they want.

If they're ready to be with the other and can have the right kin of food and stuff, they should be fine. If they're not fighting, they should also be fine. If they do have signs of bullying, then you can separate if you think it won't work out

I would expect them to be fine.
When you bring their food and water each day, keep an eye out in case there is any bullying, but it probably won't be an issue. That is really not a big age difference, now that the younger ones are past the tiny fluffball stage.
