Separating chicks! Help!

[MamaChick20]

Hey yall so I’m kinda stuck. I currently have 3 chicks ( rip to my 4th one ) and I didn’t realize that two chicks are already at two weeks old, while the other one is 1 week. Is it the best idea to separate the one week old so then she can get the heat that she needs? I just don’t want to separate her from the other two if it will cause problems or even lose a connection that she already has with the other two

FYI they aren’t sick so that’s why I’m asking if I should separate the one

They will be fine together, as long as they have a heat source, food and water, it'll be ok. I've had 4 week olds with 1 week olds with no issues

They will be fine together

Okay I figured cause there wasn’t any problems going on with them together. Thank you so much

You're welcome! Enjoy them while they're young, they grow way to fast, lol.

I'm so sorry that you lost one. I started a few days old with the previous weeks delivery and even though there is a size difference, all is well! They're a bonded flock on week 3.... Your's will be just fine. So what breeds did you get? My older ones are Wyandotte's and they are much bigger than the younger speckled sussex. They're all so sweet! ENJOY!

I have 2 Marans that are 2 wks ahead of everyone else. The Itty bitties have learned to stay out of their way when they get the zoomies. They don't try and spar with the bitties either. They know how little they are. And they do cuddle all together in a puppy pile. The bitties look up to them literally. Everyone is fine.
