Shirl Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 We got our 3 chooks 2 weeks ago. They had all been kept together so there were no squabbles when they moved into their new Eglu. Chicken Licken was I thought top chick as she always left the Eglu first. Anyway over the last couple of days Henny Penny has taken to challenging the other 2 especially Chicken Licken. She struts up to them and stretches her neck and raises the feathers on the back of her head/neck. Chicken Licken then actually lunges at her with her feet. This morning HP and CL both dashed out of the Eglu at the same time. I assume HP is challenging for top chick status. Is this a continually changing position then? As HP is the biggest I would have thought she'd have taken the roll initially. She is a few weeks older than the other 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladylucan Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I havent got a clue, but it sounds like good fun to watch xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 It is quite amusing because there doesn't appear to be any physical contact it's all just hot air as far as I can tell. It's the most animated I see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 We've had ours for about 3 weeks now. Gemma is/was the top chook but today and yesterday Uma kept pecking her on the head and making little growling noises i think she's decided she would like to be top chook now. Just leave them to it they will sort it out them selves! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
