 :( One of the new girls has got a scabby comb is this the old girls sorting out the pecking order? Is it anything to worry about? I am worrying don't like the thought of any of the girls being hurt

It could be a bit of pecking order but also check for creepy crawlies in the feathers as they could be pecking them off the comb as they crawl about.  Mine used to do it to the cock bird when we had red mite.  Give the house a look at too as that is where they will be living.
