Chirping
The top boss chicken (of the 3) does not let others dust bathe. They dig holes for themselves, start to fluff around and she comes over and pecks at them until they get up. She does not want the spot for herself, she just doesn't want anyone else to have a good time. The 3 of them are frequently pecking at each other's butts and getting into little fights. Other than that they seem to get along most of them time, especially while out free-ranging. Is it normal for the pecking order to be this severe? Would it help to add another 1 or 2 birds? All new birds, got them all at the same time 3 weeks ago, but were not kept together originally.
