Should I buy these silkie babies??

Mine started roosting in their boxes where they will be laying their eggs in a couple months. Its so cute they all huddle together in two boxes
 
well now not only do i have 5 chicks in my bedroom i also have a neborn baby goat! The aby was born only a couple hours ago and was abandoned by its mother...I'll post some pictures of her later too :)
 
I would have posted pics by now but my camera has mysteriously disappeared...
anyway, new problem, because my mom has decided to remodel the living room there is no money in the budget for a new chicken run so the little guys will have to go in with my other hens...will it really be a big problem? I dont want my big girls to hurt the little ones...
 
They should be fine. Just put one at a time in so they don't feel over whelmed with new visitors. I think they'll be fine
 
I do not think that it is a good idea to put one little one in at a time. I think the more the merrier...that way, the bigger ones won't be able to just gang up on the one little one. All the big ones on one little one could be deadly. I would also make sure that there are enough feeders and waterers since the older ones might bully the little ones away from the food and water. If you can figure out a way to give them a place to hide that is big enough for them but too small for the bigger girls, that would be good, too! Good luck with your babies, all should be fine :)

Oh, I just remembered...if you can slowly introduce them to the older ones by putting them in a cage or something inside the big run, that is a good idea, also.
