You are way more patient than me. But I can hear quite a bit of concern in your posts, so things might not be as smooth as I hoped. At this point - I would order a small number of the pin-less peepers. I would put them on everyone. Even the game bird. Let them roost where they want. The peepers...

If they are acting normal, bright eyed, active, eating I refuse to worry about them. In all my years, I have never had an egg bound chicken. I didn't even know of all these things that could go wrong...having never seen them. Just let them be chickens. Mrs K

Ok we are getting there! Hurray! I think I would open the coop, and just keep a close eye on it at night, and in the early morning. A lot of things can cause a hiccup in laying, a new situation is one of them, or excessive heat. good luck!

You are rushing it. Pull the EE and the other top bird back out. Keep them out of the set up for a week. If you think the trio are settling down, as in the game bird is relaxed and with them, leave them be, but if she is still perched out of reach, then pull the meanie. If you can put them...

Oh good, I was pretty sure that would work, it has worked for me in the past. So the big thing is to wait a few days. Generally there is one super mean one, that attacks first, and then one that follows the leader. You want to add the follower, again, rather late in the day, maybe half an hour...

Yes, introduce the middle bird to the new bird, in the run/coop. If you can, pull all three birds out and let the new bird in the coop/run by herself. There is a difference in seeing a place, and being in a place for chickens. They don't like strange, it panics them. Then being chased and...

You are separating the wrong birds. Put the bullies where you have her. Adding a single bird is a tougher integration, but you are almost there. Go in tonight in the dark, pull the two meanest birds off the nest, and put them in the crate. If you have another space, like the garage - put them...

Looking at the posture of your birds, I think would be a go. You do have more space than I expected, but I would like to point out (as politely as possible) your run is boring. While the sides are very tall, you and your chickens are not making any use of that vertical space. You could increase...

A lot depends on your set up, size and shape of the housing and run. Crowding is tolerated by some breeds better than others. The game birds, I think need more space. Often times when people come here, with very small flocks of 3-4, they are already short on space. If that is the case, I would...
