I added my 6 three weeks EE chicks to my 2 silkies one roo and one female. They're going to sleep together tonight in a 5X6 coop. The roo pecked at them a couple of times but never actually clawed or anything. Any thing I should do to help them get used to each other or advice? Thank you

It takes time. I personally separate out my young ones at night for a while until I'm comfortable leaving everyone together.

Ok well I can't get out to them tonight will they be ok tomorrow or could they be killed?

Can't really say, silkies are usually more easy going than other breeds so that should help. Having some hiding spots or somewhere the chicks can slip under or through but the adults can't, can help too.
