When do you step in on the pecking order battle on the newbie???

Only if there is more blood than would be shed from a pin feather. In short, no open wound, no intervention, as that would just slow them down and teach them beating = removal of the intruder.

I stepped in when one had the other pinned to the ground for more than 5 seconds.
