Okay, so I made this thread wondering... I was wondering what breeds of your chickens are at the top of pecking order and what are at the bottom. Here is my order, please mark them from top to bottom! For some of you who may wonder: The top of pecking order is the one who pecks, the bottom is the one who is pecked. Every flock develops a pecking order. Some owners may be lucky and get a flock that is best buds and very rarely pecks one another, but even in that situation there is always a pecking order. Lets start, mine:
Have a good day.

A breed can be listed in a magazine as the most docile breed on earth, you may buy one and it's the nastiest...
- The grouchiest breed at the top of my pecking order is probably Buff Brahma, my favorite breed. As much as I love them, they are not so good with other breeds of mine. They are the best of friend together, just not with other breeds.
- The second grouchiest breed in the pecking order will have to be my G-L-W hen, she is quite the bully when it comes to being around my other breeds.
- The third most grouchy is BA, the one hen of that breed is very docile and can be picked on, but the others I had of that breed were very aggressive and dominant.
- This breed is more so independent, they are not really top, but they can be. These are the Speckled Sussex. Pecked on by my Brahma's, left alone by my SF hens.
- BO. Precious and pretty, just a bit rough in tumble... Which suits why I like them!
- New Hampshire red. Very sweet, just a bit dominant around others.
- Blue Cochin. Very sweet and can be pecked on, but is more dominant than the next.
- Partridge Plymouth Rock. Can try to be a bit dominant at times, but very rarely. Mostly picked on if anything.
- Salmon F's. Very sweet and clean the other's, can be a bit protective at times. Can try to me dominant but does not get that place.
Have a good day.
Sincerely,
-The Angry Hen
