new in Oklahoma

I have to confess I sort of put them in the run and turned them loose. They have hid in the coop most of the time. They did come out today when I fed them some scraps. They seemed a little more settled in. They are good looking chickens (so are the Buff's). The black one stays away from people and tends to be bossy.

Ok then it'll just take a lot longer for them to settle in.

We have two Buffs, two Cinnamon Queens, two barred rocks and one black chicken. I'm from McAlester (Indianola - Scipo) area.

Any advice as we just added the Queens and the others are mean to our new ones.

You have a nice mixed flock. Cinnamon Queens are one of many labels used by some hatcheries to market their Red Sex Links, and like all Red Sex Links, they are egg laying machines. X2 on Mountain Peeps advice about adding new hens to your flock. There is a good article on introducing new chickens to the flock at http://poultrykeeper.com/general-chickens/introducing-new-chickens. Hope this helps and good luck with your flock.
