1. Why alpha hen is so bossy ?
2. I have seen mother hens attacking hens which are above her in pecking order ( but dont attack alpha hen )
Alpha hen always wins
I have an ex batt and 6 cochin pullets ( Pullets were 2mo old when I rescue ex batt ) Cochin mothers still dont attack her
Why is that ?
3. Does pecking order keep changing ??
4. Do hens know when to chase and beat cockerels when to accept him as leader
Any answer will help me a lot
Thanks in advance
