I have 13 almost 3 month months chickens and i want to put my little golden comet chickens there 20 days old tomorrow i want to put them in soon when should i put them in
 
The simple answer is: Put the chicks in when they are the same size as the existing flock. And be aware that the existing flock will not be happy about the new ones - competition for food and hierarchy...
 
I just introduced an 8 week old Americauna to my 2, 12 week old RIR's. The trick I learned from this site is after the existing chickens go to roost after dark, put the younger ones in the coop where the others are and when they wake up in the morning it is like they have always been there. No problems. Worked great for me! Good luck!
