2 laying hens introducing 2 6 week old Ee

What is the best way to introduce these two. I have a small dog crate in the hoop coop and let them out daily when I can sit in the hoop coop with them. They stay close to me if not on me. I love these two. Attached pictures of the 2 older EE'S and the babies.

Further back shots showing your entire set up would help. But what you have right now should work fine for the start of integration, so the chicks stay safe while the adults get used to them.

Cluttering up the run a bit should help to provide hiding places and to break up the space overall, to make chasing less likely: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/a-cluttered-run.1323792/ . You especially want to break line of sight between the feeders, to make it harder for the hens to guard the food.
