I would try and Put the bullys in jail for a week, seperate from each othe and the flock. When they come back they will be the newbies and have to re set pecking order. Good luck

I'm curious if you removed the bully to reset the pecking order would the bully climb back to the top or is it possible they will fall inline and start behaving?
That's why I was wondering about pulling the bully out instead of your poor Cochin.

How big is the run you are introducing them in?Thanks for the advice everyone. @Sassysouth Your situation sounds exactly like mine - What I want is just a peaceful flock so it looks like I will probably be finding a new home for the bully #1 and perhaps bully #2 if she keeps it up after bully #1 is gone. They will probably remain bullies (even if I put them in jail for a while) if they're this bad towards my cochin and her chick.... think they'd do well at a home with a rooster to keep them in check. Tried to let them all in the same run again today and my cochin got pinned down and pecked until I rescued her. Poor girl.
