I ordered a shipment of brown egg layers that are due to ship today. But, I have 3 week old assorted bantams in the brooder currently between 80-85 degrees. Can I mix the day old baby chicks into the same brooder? If so, how should I regulate the temps? Or should I separate the day old babies for a couple days, give them a head start on food and water, and then mix them in with the bantams? If I keep them in separate brooders from the start, and put them all in the coop at the same time, will they get along if they weren't mixed together?
