What is good head hen behavior?

Not sure how many feed stations you have, but more is better.

Excellent advice.

And even better if they have visual blocks so that the birds at one feeder can't see the others at the other feeders.

I would give it some time, with everyone coming into lay, that can be part of this, but if it doesn't settle down, I would move her on. Sometimes you get a bird that just doesn't fit in the flock. I like it best, when I am not quite sure WHO is the top bird... that is a peaceful flock.

I haven’t been on this site in awhile and noticed some recent new replies to this thread. It’s been six + months since I posted my original questions, so thought I’d follow up. I took the advice and gave them a chance to mature. All of my chickens are a year old now and are doing very well together. Goldie has mellowed out and Rooster does his job to break up any scuffles if they occur. All is well!!
