Chicken Terms for Behaviour

Pecking Order– The brutal act of dominance and bossiness in a chicken flock. Everyone pecks each other to show who’s boss. The one that does the most pecking is the boss babe, the one that gets pecked the most is the loser.

Egg Eating– A terrible chicken habit in which they eat their own eggs and those of their flock mates. Highly irritating for the chicken keeper who would much rather eat those butt nuggets herself.
