Integrating a former house-pet chicken into a flock

It's a bantam Silkie, named Foufou. She was someone's house pet, never has been with or seen another chicken. Owner had to give her up because, well she was a chicken and even though she spent her nights sleeping on the owner's pillow, she wasn't housebroken.

Anyway I have her now. She is currently in a roomy cage in the hen-house and I plan to release her into the flock in the next few days.

I have a very small flock: one small bantam, one medium bantam, one Acona and a Barred Rock, the roo is a Rhode Island Red looking smallish bird, young and vigerous.

Any advise on how to make this a integration going as smoothly as possible?

I still can't get over the "house chicken"
