Here's a good thread started by @aart on integrating. I brood in my coop and integrate at 3 - 4 weeks old and have very few problems. Early integration is easier than trying later IMO.

Nice coop. My coop isn't one I can walk into. The coop is big, but I can't put their brooder cage in it. The run is a lot bigger, which is what I was thinking. I'm thinking about putting the cage in the run to introduce, but I live in the mountains and it is still a little too cold to put them out yet. They haven't gotten all the feathers yet.
Thanks
