I have had the 3 new ones I got that are 3 mo old in a cage next to the coop and run since Saturday and the laying adults in a cage since yesterday, how long do they all have to stay separated until they all can be in the same coop and run?
 
I leave them segregated long enough to determine that the new ones are not sick. Normally just over night to check for runny poop and other issues. Never had any real problems. The new ones have to learn the pecking order, so there are sometimes a few little squabbles, but never had anyone get hurt.
even with adding new adults with the smaller chicks I have out there, chicks are maybe 9-10 weeks old maybe older and 3 that are a couple weeks younger.
