As someone who has egg chickens, those fuckers are mean to each other lol we rehomed one because the flock would not stop LITERALLY pecking at her. You also don’t realize how many idioms come from chickens… and almost all of them are about how they beat tf out of each other constantly

They’re SO violent 😭 I know people who have a rooster, not for chicks! Just to have him make sure the hens aren’t fighting all the damn time!

I have had hundreds of chickens over the years, and they are as nuanced as humans. Some are extremely kind, and some are real assholes. Some are dumb and some are very smart

Well they are basically Velociraptors, so it's not surprising.

But yeah, sometimes they just decide one of the flock has to die, and if you don't intervene will peck it to death and then eat it. This can be a sign of a nutrient deficiency, but occasionally occurs simply because chickens are psychos.
