Introducing chicks

[prose15]

I have five six week old chicks that currently love in our garage. I also have five grown chickens outside. What is a good way to introduce them? Could I put all five in the pen with one grown one? Then gradually add the old ones back in? The babies are all feathered and love being outside.
