Just watch over them for several hours. I personally had no trouble mixing the ages with mine. As long as you see no evidence of sickness in any of them, that is usually what most people worry about.

that's why I'm dragging this morning... stayed up too late & watched them. I'm gonna have to get them in a bigger brooder soon.
My rescue chics have awlays been so quiet, different acting than any other chics I've ever raised.Those two have been thru alot, I thought they would enjoy some company.
I'm hoping tonight I can slip a few chics under some broody hens.

I was wondering about your rescue chicks. Did you ever find out what they were? Have you ever slipped chicks under a broody? If so how did it turn out? I was curious cause my friend Freebie has a Buff that is broody big time and the first clutch wasn't fertile, so she suspose to have gotten fertile new eggs. She is candling them today to see if these are fertile. I told her is they weren't she shouldn't try anymore eggs and to buy some newborn chicks and put them under her. Buffy is serious about this brooding thing.
 
AWWW, they are sooo sweet! And they look so very tiny next to the rescue chicks!!

What a wonderful DH to have brought you home a dozen little peeps! Better than a dozen roses any day!!!!

Hey Hotwings, I've never tired slipping babies under a broody,first time. I've heard folks do it with success before. I would rather do that then risk getting more roos,I've got the worst luck.

What a great hubby you have! My hubby ain't so bad either, DH, DS and DSIL spent this week end building a coop for KrisRose and one for me!! Almost done!
Those chicks are adorable!! But, I don't think the rescue are Astrlorpes. You'll find out soon! Good luck with your babies!
