Moving chicks outside

I have a chick question that's similar. I have some 4 week old silkie chicks that can be moved outside. The thing is, the coop I would put them in would have 4 month old Silkies in it. Would the chicks get squished or would they get along?

You have to do a proper integration. You can't just stick them in there.

Here are some useful articles on integration:
