I have no zoning issues but I didn't want to create an eyesore for my neighbors. So I planted honeysuckle all along the fence of the run. Its barely 1 season old so it hasn't covered much - but in 5 years it will be a huge thing & cover a ton!
You can get really creative on the coop too - maybe just add a second dog house. They don't all need to sleep in the same room!
Its good you don't have a dominant hen - rest assured one of them is at the top of the pecking order. I actually had to remove my top 2 hens when introducing new birds to the flock. They just didn't want to accept the newcomers. In any case - I think you can relax. It doesn't sound like you have an attack issue at all. If they are all getting along & you have entertainment (cabbages) for the winter then you shouldn't have any issues by this spring.
