Mixing Chicks of Different Ages

[deenamr]

Can I put 3 day old chicks in with 1 week old chicks?

That age difference at that age should be no more problem than if they were all the same exact age. You may still have a bully, but that chick would bully chicks his own age.

Yep, they'll never know the difference.

No problem!! I have chicks from 2 different hatches in the brooder right now. The 2 week olds cuddle under the 5 week olds.

Mine like the older ones too. I always move them at night no matter if they are babies or adults. It's like they wake up in the morning and say hi and that is it. Good Luck
