Not that I stand around to watch my chickens exit each morning but when I have, I've noticed my head hen comes out first - doesn't wait for the door to fully open, just insistently stuffs herself through.
She doesn't necessarily eat first (everyone just piles onto the food) but once she decides she doesn't want anyone else around, they all leave. She's the only one that gets to have that level of say.
