Mixing age groups?

At this time I have 6 4-5 week old chickens. But I am trying to buy two 18 week pullets to start some egg Laying right now. Would the two older golden sex links I believe they are be okay to join my 5 weekers???

No. Your teenage pullets will be moody and prone to more aggression. I would separate by a fence until the younger chicks are older and the pullets settle more. Please don't just combine them all.

I agree with Oldhenlikesdogs. And check your space too, what seems like more than enough space for chicks, can rapidly become not enough space with chicks are full grown.
