My BO and BR won't let my Ameraucana up on the roost at night unless she gets there first with her quarantine friend( my Marans). My golden sexlink is fine with everybody. I usually go out and check on everyone and lock things up, and sometimes I find her on top of the nesting boxes(which are covered litter boxes) and one of the two bullies sitting there looking at her. I rearrange them so everyone is by someone they get along with. They have all been together for about 4 weeks now and I am wondering if they will eventually all roost okay together or if I will have to put them in their places every night?

Will they learn who to roost by in time? Any suggestions?

Edit to say they are 28 wks down the youngest(the Ameraucana) at 18-20 wks. She is definitely lowest on the pecking order.

They will learn. Meanwhile, it doesn't hurt for her to roost alone and it's a pain to have to rearrange chickens each night. I'd say let nature take it's course.
