Last year I got chicks over a three week period and from three different feed stores.  I put them all together in the same brooder.  No problems.  I have read on many threads here on BYC that you don't need to quarantine young chicks.  I am getting more chicks this year from at least 3 different sources.  They will be from a local breeder and 2 feed stores.  I don't plan to isolate any of them.  I am going to build a new brooder large enough for all of them to share.  (probably next weekend's project.)
