Joining different groups of Chicks

[TheGoldMAN]

Hi everybody, I have 3 groups of chickens which they came out of the incubator in different times.
Now after a weeks age I want to join them together and move them too their new home.
I want them not to fight with each other.
Thanks.

There might be a bit of squabbling since there will be new birds to everyone, but I can't imagine it will last more than a few seconds. I constantly was moving mine around due to trying to organize by breed and sex, and I didn't start having problems until about 4 weeks with some of the earlier developing males

They're still babies, they'll be fine. Agree with the above comment about 4 weeks. That's when the males start getting territorial and challenging each other. I tried to merge two groups of chicks at around 4 weeks and all the males wanted to do was kill each other I ended up rehoming all of them anyway so didn't have to deal with it for long, but there was a lot of drama. The females didn't take part in any of that and were cool with each other.
