i put another hen into the run and coop with the bigger chickens and i need to know how long it usually takes for them to quit picking on the newbie? she has an area in the run that is sectioned off that she can get in and out of but the bigger chickens cant get in. she has food and water. yesterday when i first put her in they all left her alone for about 5 hours then started to pick on her, thats when i made the place for her to hide in. i just want to know what the average time is for the integration to be over?
 
Hi! It really does vary, but with my experience, the rough stuff only lasts the first couple of hours, then there's a little bit of skirmishes for about five days or so......
