Placing two momma hens w/ chicks together

Sue, RI(Zone 6a)

I have a BO that hatched out 6 babies 2 1/2 weeks ago and if everything goes well by the middle of next week another BO should be hatching out some more.
The first one has luxury accomadations which include a nice fenced outside run. After the second batch hatches, can I put them w/ the first group or do they need their own hotel as well?!

I think that would be a big mistake, remember the temps for the new batch won't be the same as for the first batch. After the youngest batch is at least two weeks old then that could be a different story. I don't think the age difference makes the big difference, but rather the needs. Does that hotel come with room service? MY oh MY. Hastack

Oh, yes...complete w/ a minibar! They send me the tab. Some nerve, eh! lol!
