One thing I forgot to put in the video should have been keeping chickens occupied. Believe it or not, they will get bored. When they are bored they are far more likely to be aggressive. Make sure you have them in a larger enough space. Make sure you have enough "scratch". Throw in weeds, grass clippings, branches. Dig holes with shovel and turn over dirt, they dig for worms. Throw in egg layer pallets.. Give them something to occupy their time. They are like kids, if they have something to do, they are far less likely to fight.I enjoyed your video and will try adding some areas in my run for my new hens to hide. My problem is my five month old hens pecking the new rooster and two hens that are eight months old. Today one of them pulled the older hen off the nest and almost tore her comb off. I felt so bad for her today. I have separated them but they go to the same hen house to lay. They are going up at night without fighting, but as soon as the morning comes the new ones are getting pecked and chased. This is the second week . I'm hoping that things will calm down soon.
