Can you mix day old chicks with 2 week old chicks?
When they are large enough to withstand the "pecking-order" abuse. The worst thing you can do is throw a young bird in with an established flock and watch it pecked to death after raising and caring for it for weeks. Don't do it based on age alone, the chicks need to be able to hold their own and or run faster than the senior adults in the flock. More of a problem if the birds are confined in a small area than if they are free range. At this time, I have 4 day old chicks in a brooder box, 4 week old chicks in a brooder cage and 9 week old pullets in a holding pen all waiting to join the main flock of 25 free range birds. This will take place in about another month for the largest birds (pullets).
