Is it better to put them in the coop as early as possible? Will the older hens feel less threatened by chicks, or should I wait until they get bigger?
Thanks!

Yes older birds are less threatened by chicks, but you do need to be mindful of safety if integrating them when young.

Pallets are great hiding places/escape routes for juveniles.
