I have 500 that started laying a month ago & just collected another 1500 day old chicks (Layers)

Congratulation. Do you rear the adults and chicks in the same farm? If that's the case you have to be very careful to avoid disease transmission. With air borne diseases, it is quite unavoidable.

Yes the brooding house is not far from the pen house. Thank u for the advice

Wish you Godspeed. But if you encounter any problem with the chicks, don't combine different age group next time.
RE: IM NEW HERE - FarmKing - 05-22-2015
You're highly welcome.
I won't advise you to be rearing birds of different ages in the same land. If you must, then there is a minimum distance that must exist between the 2 pens to avoid disease transmission. I hav forgotten the distance. Also different workers must attain to the birds of different ages.
