I have RIRs, gold laced wyndottes, and leghorns. That’s is Also the dominance order. I was just curious if certain breeds are just naturally higher in the pecking order than others? Has anyone ever seen a guide or chart on this also ? My cuckoo maran roo is top though but just barely.
 
There are breeds that tend to be more agressive, but I think that when your birds are happy, they tend to pick on each other less. RIRs are more aggressive, wyndottes are calm, and leghorns are a little flighty but not aggressive, but that is just the standard. You just need to make sure all the birds have room to space out and that you spend time with them (esspecially the leghorns if you want them to like people).
