ISO help/advice w/chicken sausage

[mozart]

I have some pre-cooked chicken Italian sausage (Aidells) that I want to use in my sauerkraut, potato, and sausage recipe. This will be in the slow cooker. My
Question is, would you put the sausage in at the beginning of the 4 hour cook on high, or at some point along the way. I don't really like when a sausage gets all washed out for over cooking.
What would/ have you done?
TIA

At some point along the way. You don't have to worry about the sausage cooking through but long enough to extract any flavors.

Its already cooked so add it at the end or it will disintegrate

Thanks. I will put in during the last hours or so.
