Introducing adult hen to flock of pullets

[Dean126]

So my flock was wiped out by a Bobcat with 1 survivor. That single hen is being fostered by my uncle down the road while I have been raising a new flock of chicks the last 4 weeks. Would it be OK to introduce my 2 year old hen to my new flock of a dozen 4 week old chicks. I have the means to keep them separate in the same coop for a bit. What are thoughts on this?

I would start the see but no touch part of the integration. I have integrated chicks with adults as early as 4-5 weeks. Those raised by hens are introduced from the start.

I would do see but no touch and base your choice off of how that goes, like @oldhenlikesdogs said earlier
