Need advice on chicken "bullying" and lack of eggs

[AmyWalton23]

Thank you all for the advice. We let our chickens free in our back yard in spring and summer so they have about a 1/4 acre or so to hang out in. They only really get close to each other when I throw scratch down and I try to throw the two separate scratch bit it never fails one of the older 4 run them off. I stay and try to stop it. I do have separate food and water for both also. It seems all 4 older chickens equally try to run them off. Thanks again all for the advice. This site has such awesome info!!! Thanks for the warm welcome also
