Welcome to BYC

The old one is being assertive and letting the newbies know who rules the roost. Perfectly normal chicken pecking order behaviour

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! I agree, totally normal. I'm sure once they have become more acquainted with each other they will all settle down.

Wishing you the very best of luck and enjoy BYC
