I would suggest letting them see but not contact each other beginning at 5-6 weeks old. By 8 weeks, you can let them together while watching at first as the old chickens will attack the baby in most cases.

Enjoy him! I have some information on how I introduced my then chicks to the others on my site at http://www.fishpondinfo.com/chicken3.htm and the actual stories at http://www.fishpondinfo.com/chicken2.htm
