Welcome to BYC. From your description, it seems like your facilities are adequte in terms of personal space and ability to flee from conflict. You just have to tough it out for a bit while the little dinosaurs figure it all out.

As the new pecking order starts with introducing new pullets.. is it to be expected that feathers may get pecked out? One of my 17 week old pullets got out briefly and my bottom of the original pecking order hen charged her and plucked out some feathers …I am too old for this kind of violent drama ..they have all been sharing a common fence line for five weeks now.. plan on opening the gate this weekend! My existing flock are Silver laced Wyandottes, I feel like they are prone to be more aggressive?

I have one. She’s as mean as a snake.
