New to chickens

[yashdz]

Welcome to BYC!   Glad you decided to join our flock.  Your two Barred Rocks are both pullets.  Young Buff Orpingtons can be notoriously difficult for BYC members to sex accurately, but I'm leaning toward all females with your BOs.   Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.  We are here to help in any way we can.  Good luck with your flock.

Thanks a bunch y'all are so helpful and friendly

I just bought the barred rock's yesterday and I have them together with the buff orp and production red and the buff orp dosent seem to like them she kind of pecks at them should I separate them??

You should mix in new birds slowly over a few weeks. There is a pecking order within every flock and you can't just throw new birds into it. Keep the new birds in a cage or fenced off area but within the flock for about 2 or 3 weeks. Everybody sees, nobody touches. After about 3 weeks, you can mix them together. Things should be a bit better with less aggression. But you will need to add more feeding and watering stations so the new birds can get food and water. The old flock can guard these areas and starve out your new birds.
