Mine are integrating as soon as they don't need a heat source, so at five or six weeks of age. They have hiding places, multiple feeders and waterers, and separate coop sections to avoid anyone that's a problem.
So sorry for your losses, time to enhance security everywhere.

Now that all my chicks And hens seem to be living happily together is it OK for them all to eat the adult food? I’ve had multiple feeders with both chick starter and adult food available but the hens seem to eat much of the chick starter.

If by 'adult food' , you mean a layer feed, then no. Only actively laying hens should eat a layer feed.
If you are feeding an all flock feed, labeled for chicks through adults, it's fine.
