Integrating, five week old chicks

[Shall23]

Hey guys! I have a flock of eight 18 week olds. I also have two 5 week old chicks. It’s been warm enough here that they have been outside with the bigger girls in a dog kennel for about 2 weeks but I haven’t let them all out together yet. I was wondering when it would be safe for me to let them all mingle without worrying about the bigger ones pecking the smaller ones to death?

Since you've had them in sight for 2 weeks, I'd pick a time when you're available to supervise and try them out together.
