when i get new pullets i put them in a separate part of my chicken enclousure. tin is put up on one side of the fenced are but can see other chickens at the other end. after a few weeks i might let them out dependending if the older chooks atack at first sight if not i leave them alone and defend by hiding somewhere in their original place. after a while they get use to it and it is happily ever after.

 

put the new ones in a smaller see through pen for a few days. Put the see through pen inside the coop/pen with all the others. this way they can see and talk to each other...but no one gets hurt
they should eventually get used to each other by doing this.
