Are they all bantams, or are they a mix of standard and bantams? Bantams often suffer when kept with standards.

There's always a bottom hen, you can't prevent that.

Try to have multiple food and water stations. I have 13 chickens (7 hens and 6 pullets) and I have 3 waterers and 4 feeders out. The bullies can't guard all feeders at once! For your situation I'd start with adding at least one additional feeder.

I spread my treats out all over so everyone can get some. Like Izzybella said they can't guard it all.

We have two like this . We just take them aside and give them their treats in a bowl the 2 low status birds don't mind sharing the bowl .
