Minnesota!

Good morning all. Just a quick question. Recently got 2 barred rocks about 1yr+ old added to my flock. They were just finishing a rough molt; These two are terrorizing everyone else in my flock. They have mellowed a bit, I expected some repositioning of flock order but this is going on 3 weeks now. They really pick on the lowest 2, one of whom has gone broody (no roosters) and the other who I think may have stopped laying from stress or she is also starting to molt. Any suggestions? I make sure that there is food everywhere for everyone and water for everyone. Various locations. Lots of roosting areas in the hen house and large run so many places to hang out. I have 7 birds and probably the total area is easily 150 square feet, with lots of levels too. I do reprimand them (no laughing) and make sure that everyone eats.
as I said it seems to be getting better, but if there is anything I can do to speed it up, comments are helpful. thanks all--now beekeeping in Minneapolis is legal and perhaps goats soon too. I will not get bees, too much $. Have a wonderful day from South Minneapolis!

I see a few of you are pretty close (E. Bethel & North Branch area). These are our first chickens but I grew up with them.

Wow not many farther north than me! There are a lot on here listed as "Northern MN" that are by Alexandria... So I always check to see who is actually where. Is it warming up for you yet?
