How do I get my new chicks used to being with the big chickens?

I have lately bred a few chicks, and only two turned out as hens. They are going into the big pen now, but all they do is pace back and forth sqaucking to the roo chicks. Is there any way I can get them used to being in the pen faster, or is it just time?

This is a good overview of adding chickens to a flock. The first part is about quarantine, but if you scroll down it discusses the actual mixing.
