hen fight

[memahenny]

I put two new hens in with the rooster and another hen, the old hen and one of the new hens had a battle, I had to take the old hen out, she was bleeding, I finally got that stopped, what else should I do, I separated the two, should I keep them that way?

Did you integrate the hen in or just put her in there without introducing her. They have to work out their pecking order but you can't just put a new hen in your flock or you will always have a fight on your hands.
