When to mix chicks with flock

[Krystalinnea]

I have a hen that hatched one chick a couple weeks ago. She is in a separate room with it now. The room is visible to the rest of the flock, but has a wire door between. I am wondering when I can mix her and her chick back in with the rest of the flock?
There are 3 year old chickens in my flock, and I just introduced some that I got as chicks in May.
The reason I want to let her in with the rest is because I have one other broody hen sitting on eggs that are going to hatch in a couple weeks and I would like to give her the room when she has her eggs hatch..

Hi there. The sooner the better usually. I haven’t ever kept a broody and chicks separated from the flock. Mom will protect the chick and help it integrate with the others.

I've always kept my broody moms and chicks with the flock. Nobody messes with a momma hen.
