new hen

[chicks]

I have 4- 3 month old Buff orpington hens, and I added 1 silverlaced wyandotte " Pheobe". It has been 4 days now and there has been no pecking, but one of my Orp. hens, "Gerdi" chases her. Pheobe eats and drinks, but i feel bad that she is not part of the group. She does root at night with all of them. Does this just take time?

Thank You, you just feel bad for her, I want to go in there and be her friend. I raised the Orp. since babies, and they come to me, but Gerdi is bossy anyway. I'm hoping Pheobe will eventually come to me. Thank You
