10 weeks old EEs. Ogee looking more like a roo?

Thanks so much for all the information. At 11 weeks, we are ready to introduce Buffy and Ogee to the flock of three hens and Ziggy the rooster. They are 7/8 months old. We started putting them in the pen and coop when the big birds were out and penning them in adjacent pens so they could see each other. Each time we put them together, only Henny would not attack. The rooster is so big. Last night we put them in at dark. All was quiet and this morning we separated them because Calpernia attacked. How long will it take? Are they too young? I will post pics of the size difference today

There's going to be some pecking involved (that's why it's called the pecking order). It's really more a matter of whether they are being hurt by the process. A peck that doesn't leave a mark is normal and I'd leave them to work it out. A bird attacking where it's pulling feathers or drawing blood, that would indicate a genuine aggression issue and they'd need to stay separated.
