I think having a new flock member could stress them, but also they should molt as well. I’d say not to worry, it will work itself out.

I have hens that evade our current rooster. Not all of of them think they need a man in their lives.

When I got my bantam Cochin, Carl, I added him to a flock of mixed age hens. He was close to a year old, some of them were 1,2 and 3 yrs. The younger ones liked him immediately, the elder ones bullied him. He was very afraid of them. He was a sweetheart. I think you’ll like yours.

What age is the Cochin? I was assuming younger than the pullets, but is he older?

Bantam Cochins, at least in my experience, are mellow tempered birds and will probably be pushed around by older girls. But it could work out for you, do what the above 2 posts suggest, and give it time. Good luck, give us updates…and pics!
