adding chicks to an existing flock

I am also at a loss as to getting my new babies and the 3 older ones adjusted to each other?? I have 1 glw and 2 black ones(thought they were wyondottes as well,not sure after seeing other pics?) these 3 are 2 yrs old..Trying to figure out the best way to introduce 4 RIR that are almost 8weeks and getting tooo big for the cage they are in.(they have been in our bath room in a huge dog kennel since 1week old) Should I take out the RIR's in the kennel to the play yard??leave em in the kennel? do this everyday? for how long? The RIR's were in the kennel w/2 SLW,of the same age,as of today the SLW will go to a new home as they are Roo's..So sad,as they are soo sweet n I want to keep them but cant as we CANT have roo's..How long b4 I can let the RIR's out w/the older girls?????? What do I watch for?????? look for????? Any help is appreciated,this is all new to us..Another question..When we got the wyondottes 2 yrs ago,they said they had all the "immunizations" The same for the RIR's...is there anything else I need to give them?? Or do??? They get the special feed for baby chicks..The older girls get different feed,when can they all eat the same feed?? Thanks for your help..
