Some help please with a bullying chixken.

This is my first time having chickens.
I was planning to cover the area. We just got the fence up around the coop last week. I didn't realize at 7 weeks and 5 and 4 weeks they needed that muxh time outside. I have hear a lot of people say they don't move them from the brooder until 8 weeks.
I will put a rush on getting the cover fence for the area put up :)

The three chickens shown in these pics (not including the little white face far in the back right) are all roosters. This could be a large part of your bullying problem. Too many roos who are more prone to aggression.
However young pullets can also be quite aggressive especially at this 'teenage' age where they are first establishing the pecking order. As others have said, more space, and possibly physically separating them with wire mesh or something for a couple of weeks will be helpful.

Nice property you have there. Looks soo relaxing, always wanted to live in a rural area..... the small town life, people gossiping, only store available is Andy's General Goods store that has everything from pickled pig's feet to shotgun shells, with silly kids and their big city dreams of getting out of small town life only to return because they soon find out they actually miss it. OK, that's all. :p
