Is the broody sitting on fertile eggs?
Make sure you mark the eggs so you can remove any added by other hens.
Adding birds to an existing flock is very difficult because they see the new bird as a threat to the flock that will steal their food/water and possibly bring disease.
It's best (after quarantine) to bring in like numbers and like sizes.
You can remove some of the meanest birds temporarily till the new bird makes friends with the others and then return the bullies one by one over a period of days.

You have a frizzle that you think may be broody. You have a RIR hen who is new and is being picked on. You are trying to get the frizzle to brood the new chicks. Those three issues could be three different threads.

But whatever, let's take them one at a time.

How long has your frizzle been focused on sitting on eggs? Has she been on the nest for three weeks yet? Because that is how long it takes for eggs to hatch and a broody won't be interested in raising chicks no matter where they came from until after that length of time. It does no good to try to get a broody to accept chicks if she's only just started to sit on eggs.

You will need to brood the chicks yourself with a heat source to replace that of a broody hen's warm body. No other way around it.

As for the new hen, it takes up to three weeks for a flock to accept a strange new adult hen. It's best to give her time in a safe pen where she can observe her new flock without being punished by the others. Then let her out with them for short periods, increasing in length over the next week or so. She will soon learn who everyone is and whether she needs to run from them or ignore them. She will assume her place in the pecking order soon enough. It may be rough on her at first, but she will adapt and so will the flock
