Evelle...it's a good thing you are doing for your new babies...good job...
Here are my 2 month olds out in their new coop for the first time...they spent their first night out there last night...I put them in with my 4 month old white girl and 3 month old blue boy....those two older silkies have been very gentle to the new chicks...I am very happy with the introduction....
and here are my 10 silkies (2 weeks old) from Catdance...
