Advice please re feral kittens

Hi
Im Linda and have fostered kittens for many years but usually just one litter at a time. I rescued 3 little ones the other night and their mum, thats working well. I last night have been asked to help 5 feral kittens from a rescue , I have no problem with this as have some experience re socializing them. Im just not to sure the best was to do this :
1. A separate room on their own in a kitten pen ( just for now )
2. Or bring them into my living room area , where the other 3 are now enjoying the cat trees etc. I would of course cover the pen and gradually reveal more to them once over the initial shock of being picked up tonight and driven to my home. My feelings are telling me that perhaps feral's seeing the litter I have enjoying themselves they can perhaps learn from them
Can any one advice me please as to what I should go for , a separate room , or my living room area with the others, I would appreciate some tips please if you can help me. Litter I have are 7 weeks , i have got mum booked in for next week to be done, feral's are 7 weeks and there are 5 of them, just want to do what's right for them , all are wormed and flea treatment
Thanks
Linda
