How can i intoruduce pullets

It really depends on the breed of the more mature birds. I used to have Colombian Red X and they are just cannibals. One day one of the 8 week olds found a hole in the fence that I never noticed before and went over to the mature birds, it was just awful when I found what was left of it. Since that experience I never even tried to mix birds of different ages until the younger ones had fully matured. But then again, all of yours are still very young, hence, with good supervision, you will hopefully ok.
That's what I'm afraid of. But I'm praying since they're so close in age they'll be ok.
 
I would start by trying to combine the older batches. Keep them penned next to each other by a fence for a few days to a week or two than try letting them mingle and see how it goes. I would wait on the week olds until they are a bit older.
Do I keep them outside over night as well? I have them in the run in wire dog kennels connected together with their own food and water.
