They should be fine! Just keep an eye out for bullying.

3-4 week olds plus you're adding 2-3 day old chicks? They should be separated at least the first week or so, as the younger chicks can easily be pushed aside or crushed by the older ones.

With such a big group of younger chicks coming (and some being Silkies) you should consider a second brooder anyhow, again to reduce risk of crushing. 30 chicks are going to need substantial brooding space, and that's without taking into account the older chicks you currently have.

I'm just putting in my 2 cents but sebrights are such a good breed I have a roo who is a sebright and he has never attacked me but chickens do have individual personalities

I would keep them apart for a while, or have an enormous brooder.
