I’m introducing two new 6 month old hens to live with my current flock of four hens (all almost 1 year old).

After quarantine, I’m going to let them live in a closed off part of the run for awhile, under the coop. They’ll have their own roost bar, nesting box, food and water.

What do you think!?

That's fine to start, but once you're done with the see but don't touch phase, you'll need to clutter up your run as it's pretty barren and does not offer hiding places. You'll also want to have additional feeders and possibly waterers, spaced apart (and behind clutter), to avoid having dominant birds hog the resources.

Ditto Dat!

Wonders just how big the coop and run are, in feet by feet.
Looks like it could be tight quarters for integration.
