I just witnessed one of my hens grabbing neck feathers on another one, pull, remove a couple feathers and eat one of them? What on Earth? The other hen just sat there and continued to eat afterward, than the hen did it again until I intervined. And both went off together and continued bug/green hunting.
I've never seen this before. The hens have been together since birth and are about 2 years old now. Usually they will peck at each other and such, run off, etc. But this was a new one for me to see.
