Hens won’t stop fighting

[azygous]

You are managing quite the circus. I don't envy you. Introducing new birds to a flock has this effect, though. Stress can really upset the whole social balance. Getting through it is the objective. They should eventually adjust and things should calm down.

Individual chickens have their own individual temperaments in addition to breed temperament, so it's always a good idea to watch them first to know how you will need to intervene if that is even necessary. Sometimes they will look at your stressed out face and say. "So? What's the big deal? We're cool. You chill."

Lol I’m anticipating a World Chicken War when the new females arrive but i hope the peepers will solve the problem.

I’ll keep the new hen with the defective rooster until i buy the peepers, keeping him away in the garden has helped him tremendously and he is not scared of the females anymore but I think his flirtatious attempts are dull, and that needs time.

She would’ve been happily matched with the handsome rooster if she disciplined and respected the cheif hen but with this greedy mind set of hers, she deserved banishment, living with a weird rooster.

This is the retired rooster.

Peepers would be a last resort.
Space management is key.... and the soup pot for incorrigible birds.

I observed that the new hen is actually spiteful, and she also bullies the other hens but not in a vengeful way, just for the sick of bossing around.

My chickens have never been confined and even their cage is very roomy.

And they have two days of free-ranging weekly.

She’s now the least of my concerns. We had a sandstorm that left my chickens sick, and I’m doing my best to keep them alive.
