Don’t worry. It’s just pecking orders. If they start drawing blood, some pinless peepers might be handy

What's pecking orders ?

What's pecking orders ?

There is a boss hen under the rooster, then second in command, and down the ladder it goes, sometimes there are challengers that want to move up for whatever reason, and sometimes there are just squabbles. How old are these chickens? Did they ask grow up together? Any changes in their routine/environment?

They will be 4 months on July 20 and yes they grew up together , and no they've been in the same coop since they was about 7 weeks old was in a smaller coop in same yard til then , the coop is really big and so is the yard .
