Surfin Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've had my chicks for about 6 weeks now and I have no idea who is at the top of the pecking order. I've watched them for hours.........can be very amusing doing some quite unexpected things. They do like each others company and a lot of the time they spend in a tight pack despite being in a 16 square metre run. The only time I've noticed any squabbles is when I feed them wet mashed Garvo and all 6 try to eat at once from a small s/s feeder. So, what are the signs of the top hen? Once top do they remain there or is there a constant change in the pecking order? Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostock422 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 well the pecking order might change while they're growing up as some chicks will grow faster than other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
