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.

Yes, there was a little fussing while everybody found their place in the new order of things, but no blood drawn and when I let them out to free range on the second day, everybody found their way home that night.
I've done this every other year or so for 20 years and never lost a bird to aggression.
