I have a little flock of birds made up of trio of golden polish. 2 roos and 2 females of the white crested. 4 rose comb bantam (my micro babies) and 2 more hens 1 more roo.
So Luigi has been the primary head honcho of the coop since the new one got built. I go out today and my poor guy is going ostrich style hiding his head under rocks to keep one of my black and white roos from jumping on him. I hated to separate them but I can't let them hurt one another. I have 6 more little chickens I need to introduce out there but I'm not sure if I should since there seems to be some tension in the coop. What should I do? My trouble maker is having a sleepover with 2 of my old hens for the night. He just wouldn't quit jumping on everyone out there today.
 
Okay, here's what I get from your post. 3 golden polish, sex unknown. + 4 white crested, (2 M, 2 F), + 4Bantams (sex unknown), + 2 hens + 1 rooster, breeds unspecified.
So, I get 14 birds total. Three roosters total. Is that right? One white crested rooster is attacking your main rooster, Luigi, but we don't know what breed he is, only that he is named Luigi. This white crested is jumping on everybody so you've separated him and put him in with 2 older hens for the night, is that right?
 
1 Golden polish roo. (Luigi) 2 g.p hens...the 4 bantam 1 roo 3 hens..the other 2 hens are lavender Americana(1) and a ""game chicken,my dad called a Grey hatch,) and the other roo is same as the ""game chicken" I hate to call them that bc I know there is a proper name for them......and the other chick's just turned 3 months old Jan 9. What worries me is 2 of them are turkens. They don't have the feathers to protect them during pecking order configuration.. all these guys usually get along but I guess this 1 bird heard new year new me on their radio to many times.!
 
I removed Sarge (my bully) and he is in with my super old laying hens. They are so old their black feathers on their faces have turned white.
 
Luigi is the ""oldest"" he was hatched in May last year and sarge is a June boy. I can always build me a black and white polish pen when the weather gets warmer. Hopefully my shoulder is way better by then..... they are all generally well behaved birdies. I spend as much time with them as I can including just sitting in their coop with them having a chat (1 sided of course) but for some reason he's just decided to be a big bully bird. We have some super cold nights ahead ( single digits most likely where I live) so my goal at this point is happy warm birds. Everyone's can get in a house and huddle up! If I had my way I swear I'd bring them in.
