Whoa-- seems like you have lots of elements in motion.
Perhaps you could start by putting the more mild tempered ones in closest proximity.
If these make up the larger group, it would stand to reason that the pecking order they establish would be the bar set for those who are added after.
What is your ultimate goal? Putting everyone together or having multiple groups? Have you considered building a more spacious coop to give them additional space? Maybe sell or repurpose the ones you have? My pullets are exceptionally territorial and am working to add an additions to my little herd before late autumn. In order to balance their gut reaction of 'Hey, this is MINE!', I plan to move the coop to another angle and change up the run a little bit. Maybe even paint so it feels like home to my established ladies but they get to process new info just as those I add. I hope it will make for an easier transition.
Your flock sounds like it is beautiful and diverse! I hope it goes as smooth as possible and they are all together in harmony very soon.![]()
