Read the sticky at the top of this section about biosecurtiy and quarantine. You shouldn't put them in right with your birds in case they have a disease, even if they look well. You really should quarantine them away from your flock for at least 30 days. Even though they will probably be alright, just ask yourself is it worth risking my entire existing flock's health for these two?

Here's a good thread about biosecurity: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=30851

After quarantine, here is an excellent article written by Chookschick on how to integrate: http://www.examiner.com/urban-chick...ickens-101-introducing-new-birds-to-the-flock Good luck and enjoy the new girls!
