brooder in coop or indoors?

I have 2 chicks that were born 8/8/2015. They are in there brooder in the backyard with the chickens and roosters. the roosters and hens don't pay that much attention to them. The chicks are bouncing around trying to get the chickens attention. when and how do I introduce them to each other without a cage between them. I live in Northern California

I wouldn't put them in with older chickens until they're at least 12 weeks old. Older chickens aren't very nice to younger chicks. The older chickens won't be nice when you put the babies in, but the babies will be big enough to get out of the way.

Thank you very much. I am going to take your advise and make sure I wait at least 12 weeks, They are healthy and I wouldn't want anything to happen to them.
