Oh yes, they should have a dustup but nothing really horrible, just noisy little squaaaaarks. Just block your ears!!
how many new ones are you adding, what is the new vesus established ratio?
I find silkies are nicer than other breeds and quicker to welcome newbies.
You could try the old separation thru the wire trick but they will still have a small dustup when they get together, ill send them some silkie be nice karma!!!

After a suitable quarantine (please read the following:
