Anyone have trouble introducing Naked Necks to flock?

I have 3 Naked Neck pullets that I want to introduce to my flock of various breeds. I have tried this once before and the flock immediately started pecking their necks. The naked necks are visible to the flock through a clear pvc panel partition in the coop. I am wondering if anyone has successfully added naked necks to an existing flock and if there were any problems with pecking. I hope that I don't have to build another run just for this breed. I wanted them all to live together peacefully. Thanks for the replies.
 
I always have naked necks in my mixed flock. But I hatch my own eggs so each hatch are hatchmates and stick together. But ya, it is kind of funny to see smaller Buttercups surround a Naked Neck and protect her. From a young Roo that is checking the new young pullet out. No No No you stay away from our sis, she's to young.

The only time I have had a problem was from another Naked Neck, a personality thing. Personally, I would keep the Naked Neck and rehome or soup pot the others. I just would not tolerate such behavior.
