I HATE the “pecking order”!

No worse than teenaged girls in high school. Although since I don't speak chicken, maybe the hens are badmouthing one another when one of their backs are turned. "Did you see Mabel's feathers today?" "Ugh, she looks like she's trying so hard."

Right!?
“Omg Betty, guess who slept beside Fred last night? Sheryl!”
“What a skank, I never liked her. She thinks she’s all that, because she has feathers on her feet-ugh mutant” OR
“Did you see Mary’s babies?? Omg girl they’re all yellow! I heard she was sneaking around with Charlie.”

Now ladies, none of us would ever talk that way...
Back to those chickens: our coop is big enough to isolate broodies or an injured bird in a big dog crate, or a separate part of the coop, fenced with hardware cloth. Nobody is in another building, so reintroductions, or first time intros of growing chicks, all go pretty well.

No none of us would but the HENS do lol. They even have little cliques. And I think they talk about me behind my back. They’ll be all squawking in the coop but when I go out there, they get all quiet. And they look at me all judgey.

I think it's hilarious when my cockerels crow like 10 times and act all innocent when I try to figure out which one was doing all the complaining.
