I have 8 chicks, four of them are 5 weeks and the other four are 4 weeks, I have had them together, and they have been fine. Yesterday I was given 4 barred rock and 2 Buffs that are 6 weeks or so but are a little bigger than mine and full feathered when mine still have some awkward feathers. What do I need to do before I put them together? I have just built a new run and am building a coop today, do I need to keep them separated until they get older or put them together now so they can get their pecking order established?
I will be keeping them quarantined away from my other chicks for a while but I am concerned they will fight when I do put them together
