I have four 14 week old pullets raised together since a few days old. Three weeks ago I added two pullets who are about two weeks younger. My coup is 3x7’ and my run is 6x11. So far my orig four are still acting territorial, chasing the two newbies and not accepting them into their flock. It’s not brutal, but the poor girls are kept on edge much of the time. I let them all out to range together when I can, but they are mostly confined in the coup/run. Will the situation improve with time, or could they always reject these two newcomers? Orig. flock a Wyandotte, Sussex, austrolorp, and berenvelder. Newbies are Easter eggers.
