Flock Rivalry? D:

[Rhododendron]

I have like 12 little red pyle bantams. In April or so, the mother bird had 4 roosters and 1 hen. Then, in mid-August, she had 2 more hens and 1 rooster. even though the 2 young hens are almost as big as the mom, she's still really defensive towards the older hen. Help?

I'm not sure what you are asking here. Is the mother defensive of the older pullet chick and attacking the two younger pullets? How many cockerels/roosters do you have and how many pullets/hens?
