I guess I'm just lucky.
I had 17 layers originally. I bought 6 new layer chicks and raised them along with my usual 60 meat bird chicks.
About the time I had finished slaughtering the meat birds (around 14 weeks) and was ready to move the new layers into the coop with all the other layers, my daughter decided she was done with chickens and gave me 8 of hers.
I just waited until it was completely dark and my layers were roosting for the night, and slipped all 14 new birds into the coop. The next day I didn't let them out beyond their fenced in yard (they normally free range) and gave the new birds 36 hours to imprint on their new home.

I've done this every other year or so for 20 years and never lost a bird to aggression.
