I have 2 4 month old female chins, sisters.

I have the opportunity to add another 4 month old female.

Do younger chins get along better? I know I would still have to do a slow introduction - just hoping the chances of them getting along better would be in my favor because of their age.

Thoughts/advice?
 
they might, they might not. Depends on the chins. But along with the upside of all three living together, there is also the opposite downside if things go wrong. Some times when trying to introduce a third chin to an already bonded pair can not only not work, but can sometimes cause the two bonded ones to start fighting. Which leads to them being housed separately. So if you want to try just make sure you are capable of housing them all separately if the need arises.
