16 week olds and 9 week olds to mix or not to mix!

[blacktop240]

Think they are close enough in age to mix in with the main group? These guys are still inside my house and Mr peepers.... Is annoying to say the least! It's been a loud beak since I hatched it! lol I wanted to get some opinions before I go attempting to get them together. The 16 week old Buff Orp Cock is pretty large probably close to double the Lavender Orps... The little guys are almost the same size as the 16 week old pullets. So its kinda sketchy. One of the 9 week olds is def. a Rooster and has been trying to crow more. The other 2 Lavenders are what I believe to be pullets... Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!

It sounds like they are big enough to mix, to me. I hope you have a way to introduce them without actually allowing them to touch each other, or at least a large yard with hiding places. Treats and an extra feeder and waterer might help, too. Or you could try putting them on the roost just after dark and hope no one notices in the morning.

I have a 4 individual cup water system inside the coop and a standard 1 gal water container outside. I do have a dog carrier or can whip together a wire cage quick so they are in the run area but not rubing feathers. Before the big ones went out they were right near these guys but they haven't seen them in a few weeks. It's better to be safe then sorry... Cause I really don't feel like getting tore up separating fighting chickens or have one of my birds hurt. Thanks for the input I'm doing this today so I'm glad at least 1 person replied!
