How do chickens establish pecking order?
Chickens will also peck at each other from boredom. One of the reasons why chickens peck at each other is because of the natural texture and appearance of some of their features like feathers. A few more things to think about: overcrowding, overheating, too much light, nutrition, and broody hens will peck.
A well designed coop can help to reduce the bad behaviors of the pecking order. It cannot be stressed enough that giving your chickens enough space will help to reduce the number of incidents you see. In coops that are too small, the chickens at the bottom of the order will suffer. They will be pecked and plucked and their lives will be miserable.
Flock size is another hidden cause of chicken pecking. In order to prevent this you should keep each flock size to less than 30. Anymore than 30 chickens in each flock and you are risking antisocial behavior. Environmental changes can stress a flock out (especially when it relates to food and water).
When do chickens have their own pecking order?
The serious games of the pecking order start when chicks are around six weeks of age. Chicks will start rushing at each other, bumping chests and flaring feathers. These are all methods used to intimidate flock mates at any stage of life. By the time they leave the brooder, they will have their own pecking order sorted out.
What is the purpose of the pecking order in a flock?
Purpose of the Pecking Order. The chicken at the top of pecking order has a special role to play in the flock. Because they are so strong and healthy, it’s their responsibility to keep constant watch for predators and usher the others to safety when a circling hawk appears or a strange rustling is heard in the bushes nearby.
