Adding 2 new pullets, need advice...

[Orthopod]

Flock of 8 (7 pullets 1 cockerel) is 16 weeks Old and the 2 we are adding are 12 weeks.

We put them in the run with the others for several days in a cage where the others can see them and there doesn’t seem to be aggression.

Do we add them to the coop and lock them in with the others? Or do you recommend another way to introduce?

Introduce in the run first. Do you have multiple feeders and obstacles for hiding spots ready do go? I would not lock them together in the coop until you're pretty sure they can get along well enough to not kill each other overnight.
