Adding new hens

[timmyboyhd]

i have and amarauca and a barred rock that are about six months old. I just purchased 2 rhoade island reds and 2 silver laced wyandottes i have the premium chick n barn with the attached nest box and chicken run. I was woundering how old do i need to let the chicken get before i introduce them and how should i go about it. I do let my chickens free range often they mainley sleep and eat in the coop.
