Just got baby chicks help..

[livercelluar123]

Well I know the basics this is the third time I've raised baby chicks. But our last batch as soon as they go their feathers went out into the coop. After about three weeks the door to the coop magically blew open and they got out and a raven got all but two of the baby's and to my luck they were the biggest baby and the smallest one now to my question should I put the bigger baby's in with the smaller baby's? There from tractor supply and their really nice and laid back and don't peck and stuff and in the coop the were in a nesting box with hardware cloth blocking them of the rest of the flock. And the baby baby's are only a few days old the bigger ones are about a month

I'm know expert but I would give it a try putting the older one in with the littles. I had a mixed age batch of chicks and I'm pretty sure one was nearly a month when the others were day-olds. Or at any rate, a lot bigger. Way better that way than being alone. (or maybe you are saying there would be 2 older ones?) Still, I would give it a try. I think you would notice if it wasn't going to work - I assume you are worried about the difference in size and somebody getting hurt?
Sorry about the loss of the other chicks!

Thanks this was a lot of help! An I have two of them that are about a month old and 5 that are only a few days old

You really shouldn't mix 1 month-olds with day old chicks. The day-olds need a heat lamp temperature of 90 degrees the first week, decreasing by 5 degrees each week until they are fully feathered at 6-7 weeks. The older chicks would be too warm and would end up bullying the young chicks. I think you could put them in a huge brooder with a divider like a screen where they can see each other, but separated heat lamp, food and water. Your older chicks would need their food and water up higher to keep shavings out, and the young ones would not be able to reach it. Month-olds are just too active for babies. That's just my opinion.

I put them in and since I'm using a plastic tub right now we can't get the brooder to be 90 degrees and there being like a mother to them and all of my chickens including my roo who btw is the nicest
Out of all of them got along fine with the younger ones till the raven got into the coop
