Yes, I'm suggesting that. They're a great hiding spot (not to mention a trap should the Polishes desire), so they could just be hindering the learning. With my newbies, it was often the nesting boxes that they hid behind, so I would have to move them so nobody could hide in them. The newbies eventually came around after that.

Oh ok. I notice The chick's won't come out of the crates until Piper or Sunnie run into the crates after them. The other hens in the coop Rose and Maryanne don't bother the chick's unless they have something they want. But, it's peak not a full on attack like the Polish do. But I'll give it a try. Thanks for the advice.

It's going on about 3 weeks .yes they fly up on the dog create to get away from them. Thanks for asking. Any suggestions? View attachment 3680979

Took me 5 months to add 2 hens to a flock of 5 hens. Consistent habits with supervised free range. I can finally feel safe to have them all together. The 5 hens still hate the 2 new, but, no fighting. Good luck!
