How long should it take for new hens to be welcomed into flock?

[dennycorum]

I just got three Red Sex Links and the other hens which are all Bantams and two Roosters ( one Rhode Island Red) hasnt been very welcoming. It has been three days and they still stay in the coop most of the time and when the y are out they stay together. The egg production from the other hens has dropped also since the arrival of the new hens.

They stay in the coop for a couple days. We have had no problems with egg laying though.
