Really struggling introducing my 2 new chickens into the others, i have hand-reared them all, and they are sooo tame and gentle, however when i put my two new ones in a bantam cuckoo maran and bantam pekin they went crazy, and they pecked them so hard that one of them bled...ahhh...STRESSFUL..!!!

For the last month we have been my letting the see each other through wire, but they still will not let them be friends..i am at the end of my tether!!
Is it true that if you put them in at night and let them all wake up together they become friends???

Any help would be amazing!!!
 
How much space do they have all together in the run? Is there enough room for the new ones to run away? Are there things they can hide behind to protect themselves? It will take time and patience. Every time you put them together, stay with them and be the referee just to make sure there is no bloodshed. Eventually they will all get used to the presence of each other. Also, I would resist putting the bleeding one back in until the wound is healed. Chickens love to peck at wounds which would only make matters worse.
