My existing flock is only two chickens, the rooster is a Silky named Blueberry and the hen is a Red Sex Link named Gurtrude. They both are not fond of the idea of letting two new, 13 week old White Leghorn pullets of joining the flock. Every time I put them in the run they get pinned down and attacked, they have been in the see no touch pen for two weeks now. They have no intention of letting up either, the ten hour see no touch stage every day hasn't cut it I guess. What should I do and what is up, is somthing wrong with them or have they just not started putting of female feremones???
 
Maybe start with the rooster, remove the older hen, he may be more willing, keep her away until he's getting along than try your hen again, he may than try to protect them from her.
