Integration is hard! It is always risky to just throw them together, though. The suggestions of setting up a run separated by a mesh fence, where the chickens can see each other but not get to each other, seems to be the way to go. Also make sure there are plenty of places the "picked on" chickens can go to hide. Good luck!
Woow!! that sounds scary. Right now I only have three hens, 1 Buff Orpington, and 2 Brown Leghorns. I plan to get more and I was already worried if they would get along. Oh yeah, by the way....WELCOME!!!
