I’m still a very new chicken tender and I’m curious about pecking order. I have two age groups; four birds who are 14-15 weeks and two who are around 10 weeks. I’m integrating them at the moment and it’s clear that the little ones are beneath the big ones in their eyes. Two of the bigger ones will chase the littles, one in specific, and two ignore. I’m guessing those who chase are the lower ones on the pecking order? Or are they too young to have one established yet? Are there other ways to tell?
