1. will not effect egg production
2. it is a real possibly that the adult hens will peck and injure the chicks
Introduce them to the coop, watch them, if the hens start pecking the chicks remove them and try again in about 4 weeks after the chicks are larger.
Good Luck

The adults will probably attack them. Keep them in a separate caged up areal. The adults will still lay eggs.
