It does help, thanks. It confirms my 50/50 thoughts on doing it. So I will wait. I have attached some updated baby pics.I had to look that up too, and some one said that 8 weeks is the magic age of acceptance. I didn't wait that long. I put mine in at 6 weeks with a 21 week old and three 17 week olds. I think it depends on the temperament of the older chickens, so all I can suggest is when you think they should go, just monitor them for at least 30 minutes and regularly check them for the next few hours. Any aggression would be immediate.
My mother and I shared an order of 16 chickens. She recently tried putting hers out with her Production Reds, and they automatically attacked the babies. She also tried with a 6 month old Ameraucana, and they tried going after her immediately, but left her alone when she was in a crate within the coop.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
