@theflooflady: When I played this clip back, I changed my mind about making it part of a larger compilation. I realised it shows the anomalies in the pecking order that might be surprising. Gillan the rooster is getting his personalised treats when Iris the Orpington hen swoops in from the left. Gillan as the guardian of the flock backs off to let his ladies have the treats. The interesting reaction is to tiny Bobble the Exchequer Leghorn. She just needs to give Iris a hard stare and Iris backs away. Iris is double the size of Bobble, but Bobble is older and part of the senior team so is higher ranked. Pecking order in a mixed age group is more complicated than who is the biggest and baddest. #peckingorder #buffOrpingtons #freerangechickens #happyhens
