I have 4 hens in one pen and a roo and small hen in another (they were born in june)!well my little hen is a baby from my wlxbr .she is small and silver and im scared that the big hens will hurt her.should I add her to them or leave her alone in her pen?the roo is a very large white legorn , so I will be adding him to the ladies! she is a great layer has laid an egg everyday since thanksgiving! they are small and cream , so cute!
 
If the little hen is with the roo now you should add her at the same time you add the roo. Earlier or later would probably be a problem.
Put them on the roost at night with the others and he should protect her.

A better option is to add one of the 4 hens to the pair ever couple days till they are all together. That makes the larger group the new ones rather than vice versa.
