My Shy Chickens.. :/

My previous chickens met Mr. Fox, and I haven't seen them since. I then bought two more chickens which I ordered from Scotland.
Five weeks later I bought two more.
My current new chickens are very happy to eat out off my hand or to be picked up.
My problem is that the old two are bulling the new two and are very shy to be picked up, or too scared to eat out of my hand. How can I get the old two to get along with the new two and how am I mean't to get them to eat out of my hand?

unfortunately, you have to let them get on with it.

if you see any bare bottoms, then spray them with purple spray (that's its name!) to prevent it (nce they get a good peck, they'll keep pecking till death)

but otherwise, just let them establish their own pecking order.
