Anyone who’s kept chickens knows there’s a hierarchy in the henhouse. It’s where the term ‘pecking order’ likely originated. These five young Wyandotte pullets are at the bottom of the pecking order, so they tend to gather on high perches where they can quietly gossip and peer wistfully out at the world they’re not yet allowed to wander without escort. Left loose, they’re likely to get into all sorts of trouble.
