So a few days ago i got two new hens because my one hen was getting hurt by the one rooster. I got them and they were both doing good. The first couple days the rooster was running after them and pecking them. i know the pecking order has to be placed. But now one hen is running around with my two old ones and the other hen is scared and my old hen (the one that was getting hurt) is know pecking her. my old one wont let either one of my new hens in the coop. so do i just let them be so the pecking order can be placed or what?
 
New birds should be separated by a fence for a while so everyone can become familiar with each other before trying to combine them. Generally if you aren't seeing blood drawn you should leave them be at this point.
