New chicken from different supplier

[RedstarRanch]

If one is getting new day old chicks from different hatcheries is there a need to keep them seperated at first? I will be getting my first chicks this spring and will probably be getting some from different breeders. Would like to raise them all together.

If they are only one day old there is no reason why you should have to separate them

Also I recomend you get your chicks from
Hoovers Hatchery. I got my chicks from there and they arrived completely healthy

That should be fine to raise them all together as long as they are all from hatcheries, they should not have been exposed to anything.
