When to re-integrate the flock?

Hi. I have three chicks which were hatched under a broody and are now 14 weeks old and still living with their mum. They free range in the garden with my other hens and i was wondering if i could mix them all together again in the cube or would the 'mum' still feel protective of the young ones? I'm worried that she might attack the other hens. They all get along together when they are out in the garden. Also one of the chicks is a cockerel, will it be ok for him to continue living with his mum and sisters and will it be ok to still eat the eggs that they lay?

 

Thanks

Sally :)
