Should I put one of the old chickens to roost with the two new ones for the night on the second night the two new ones came?
Personally, I wouldn't push it that quickly when you can't be there to intervene. You never know when the "nice" chicken is going to get irritated that these strangers have gotten too close or have chosen the favorite roosting spot and decide to strike out.
I would separate them at night for awhile (is there a way to divide the coop or a dog crate you can put the newcomers in so everyone can sleep together without interacting?
