Does anyone else here have a flock that just seems to get along all the time? In watching my 3 hens interact since chicks I have noticed that nobody has claimed alpha status. I thought one of them would by now since they are now all laying regularly. These 3 all just get along so well compared to a flock of 6 I had years ago. These 3 are a hybrid (tho I suspect one is a Buff Orpie that accidently got mixed in) and the others I had years ago were Australorps and full of drama, not one of these 3 hens have ever picked on another one. Even when they are in their daily cricket feeding frenzy when I move the water container, they seem to just be very chill with each other and don't fight over any food source. I am planning on adding 3 more to the flock next Spring, I hope I don't get a trouble maker in that trio. lol
Am I just lucky or are the hybrid breeds more laid back than the heritage breeds or maybe just because there are only 3 of them? Could it be because there's no boyfriend to be jealous of or fight over? ha ha
I just find this interesting as my sister's flock is all over the place with bullies and flock drama. She does have 2 roos, but the girls are the ones causing all the ruckus she says. so funny how different they all are.
