The way you do it with horses is that you take a horse out of the established
herd and pair her with the newcomer, so they get used to each other and become
friends. WHhen you put the two of them together with the rest of the herd, the
newcomer will have a friend in it already, which makes it easier for her to
integrate.

Bonus points if the horse you choose as a companion for the new one is an alpha
big strong one. She won't tolerate abuse against her newfriend by the others.

I can't say my chicken collection is huge and I have never introduced outsider
chickens since I set the coop with its initial population. Most hens I deal
with are very peaceful but I am aware some people's are killing machines. I
would think that if your hen yard is big enough you won't have much trouble
because the newcoming hens won't have to compete for space.
