?? You could use one of the "busy blocks"??????????????????? THey're like blocks of peckable grain. It helps keep them busy from pecking eachother????

got some mixed seed and crack corn...seems to be working...what could I use (EDIBLE)...to make my own block/brick ?

I would think the 6 week olds are pretty small to put with year olds. I have read here that you should wait to combine them until the new girls are about the size of the older ones. I know that is a problem, but otherwise the little ones are really vulnerable.
