Sometimes they'll integrate OK, sometimes they won't. I'd keep the new peeps separate until they get some size to them, if you can.

I wouldn't chance it, I think 10 days old is too young to be w/ 5week olds. I know there are always exceptions but it's a brutal chicken world, why risk it.

The black chicks may be black Jersey Giants (I have a Jersey Giant hen, she's very sweet and lays like mad), the reds may be red sex link or Cinnamon or ISA Browns...?

But...um, they don't look like bantams, they actually look quite large. Unless the perspective is fooling my eye somewhat...?
