We got two 2 week old Easter eggers from some friends while we waited for our other 6 chicks. The new chicks came in today and instantly the older two starting picking at them on stop. What do I do? First time chicken momma here!

Right now we have the older two separated
 
Wait a few days till the younger ones are more mobile. If you have plenty of space, there shouldn't be a problem with those ages.
How big is the brooder?
I've put groups of those and more disparate age groups together before but the brooder space was quite large - like 4'X6' or larger.
