Easy, medium, and hard

I dont know her full story. As far as I know, she had a clean bill of health before we got her. I gave her rump a warm bath today. Dont know if that did anything. She still seems normal/fine, is not being bothered or pecked at by the others, and is not even the lowest in the peckin order. That would go to the...Australorp?
I'm not sure if I'm understanding your post, can you give it another go?
 
Yes, thank you. Everyone has meshed together well so far, they dont pick on her or peck at her bulge. These are from animal services, so basically getting a second chance at life now. Especially the australorp, I'm making sure she gets food, water, and a bit of attention. We have only one young roo right now who crowed the first time a few days ago, but not since.

Also, pic that doesnt suck:

Glad to hear they are getting along pretty well!
I think they will come around with your attention and care. Her feather loss mostly looks like it's from mating. To us it may not look that great, but hens don't seem to be phased by it.
Depending on how old she is, she may molt in the fall and all her feathers will come back in nice and new:)
 
I only worry if it's an issue. She's definitely the lowest on the totem pole by far, but she's energetic, spunky, and hasn't shown any issues. Neither has Bertha with the bulbous butt. Everything has gone well so far, hope it continues! Thanks for the replies everyone
