Hello. I have three 14-week old pullets who are pretty much integrated into my flock of six 2-yo hens EXCEPT for at night. They tried to join them for a few days, but my lowest-ranking hen was bullying them. Now I go down every evening to find them roosting on top of their baby coop so I reluctantly guide them into that coop to sleep so they will at least be safe.
Someone suggested we add a new roosting bar, so we did, but now my biggers hens just squabble over who gets to use it.
Any suggestions? Two are good sized but one is a silver spangled Hamburg so she is very tiny compared to the rest of the flock.
