Hi all,
I have wanted chickens forever, and after several years, my family is now in a position now to be able to raise them! So, I just acquired four 2-week-old white leghorns, and I want to add a few more. On Friday, I will be picking up six two or three-day-old chicks (3 barred rocks and 3 buff orpingtons). Can I immediately integrate the younger chicks with the older ones, or do I need to separate them and introduce them slowly?
Thanks so much, any advice appreciated. I am so new at this!
