   I have two chickens and I sometimes see them puff up at each other and jump, kick, peck, flap, bow, and scratch at each other. Do they just hate each other or is there a pecking order? Also, they still peck even with pinless peepers on, argh it's impossible to stop this pecking.

   It's normal chicken behavior - everyone wants to be boss. As long as they are not causing physical damage, there is no problem with such behavior.

   As long as chickens have peckers they will peck each other. TCB (typical chicken behavior) As long as they don't end up bloody or featherless there's nothing to worry about.
