Hey I tried putting 3 2 month old americanas in with 3 Rhode Island Red hens and rooster, the rooster attacked the snot out of them, I got me back safe tho. How do I get the rooster unagressive forward then?
 
Google : integrating new chicks or chickens - there are lots of descriptions out there on good ways to do this. Basically you set them up so they can see each other but not touch for a while first, at least a few days. Then there are different ways of introducing them after that.
You can't just put them together or you get fights like you saw....
 
If you have enough room inside your coop, place a smaller cage made of wire with the babies inside, let everyone get used to each other without being able to get hurt, also, in my opinion, 2 weeks old is too young to try to put them with adult hens, i prefer to wait until they are large enough to defend themselves
