I have 4 Easter Eggers and 2 smoky pearls.
For some reason my 2 color Easter egger, brown and white, is being picked on by the somky pearls.
This started molting, not sure if before or after it started.

She is hiding in the coop on the hiest roos all day and sleeping in the Nesting boxes. I had to put food and water in the coop since she would not eat or sleep.

So far no blood.

How can I stop the attacking?

Can you separate the run area, with the EEs having access to the actual coop (during the day) and other desirable areas? A lot of this is territoriality, and giving the new ones a chance to feel at home in the run can be a help.
 
none of the birds are new. they have all been together for a year.
 
Photos of your set up, both coop and run, inside and out? Even if birds have been together all their lives that doesn't prevent behavioral or pecking order changes.
