introducing new hens

[ferreterni]

I introduced a young minorca bantam in with my oegbs, have had the oegbs in the pen for a month before adding the minorca. Is it normal enough to get a bit of fighting and pecking? the minorca was in a seperate run next to the oegbs for a week before i put her in, things are quieter now and they have a house each in the run so hopefully they should get the hang of each other.

Yes, very normal. The pecking order is established if they have settled down.
