Introducing 2 month old silkies to 4 month old flock

[4 ever Orpington]

So I have 2 two month old silkies. They are still kind of small. I’ve put them out and let them free range with my 4 month old flock. Which is mix of RIR,Buffs and rocks. They are significantly bigger than my 2 silkies. Which is obvious because they are always going to be smaller. So when I let them out. There is a little pecking but silkies seem to hold their own. My problem is. They seem to all separate them selves from the two months and leave them alone. I want to put them in the coop soon when the silkies get a little bigger but my Main thing is it normal for them to separate themselves from the other flock and should I be worried about them in the coop? Thanks for anyone’s input

I have three silkie hen’s with nine heritage breed hen’s and one cockerel. But they were raised together. Your situation could be very tricky. As suggested before if you need to intergrate them monitor the pecking. Good luck.

Could you split coop and add second pop door into split run?

I actually like that idea but me and wife agreed that would should build a mini coop and just connect it with the run for now. Once they get used to eachother it will work. I could always use the mini coop to raise other baby chicks if I need be
