have had chickens for 5 years but they die off now and then so I went and got 8 new pullts about 4 weeks ago. this morning when I let them out one new one died .I think she was stressed ot because she was always by herself and she was afraid of my Plymouth rock who has been with me for almost two years .all the others seem ok but they still are not laying and not perching at night .I hope its gonna get better because the Plymouth rock is finally getting use to them .
 
Welcome to active posting on BYC!
It's unlikely that the pullet died because she was stressed out by your head hen. Something else was wrong. If you lose any more, you should try to get a formal necropsy done or do an informal one yourself and post pictures in the ER forum.
Where did you get these pullets from? Did you quarantine them before exposing them to your PBR and any other surviving members of your original flock?

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. Gee are your birds dying off from disease, or predation?

No disease I make sure they all seem fine my coup is always clean and I feed them all good stuff I never lost more than just one at a time and usually a lot of time goes by but this one I just lost I think was just scared of the Plymouth Rock and finally just couldn’t deal with the anxiety

Bread is not good for chickens. It's great as a medium to get meds into them and that's about it.
I would also stop feeding the corn.
What feed are you giving them for their basic ration?
