Adding pullets to coop

[Hulahawaiichickengirl]

Aloha! Im hawaiichickengirl! Im new here and am excited about getting everyones feedback so i can be a better chicken mom!

I am adding nine pullet girls to the big coop today, and there is four big girls in there, two of them Rhode Island reds, the other two big girls are Americanas. I would welcome any suggestions to make the new chicks integration as stress-free as possible.

The 9 young girls are a variety of 3 reds, 3 americanas, and 3 barredrocks

How old, in weeks or months, are both the groups?

How big is your big coop, in feet by feet?
Dimensions and pics would help immensely here.

Where are the youngers living right now...and where did they come from?

Also how long have they been separated in see but no touch mode, or have you not done that yet?
