Greetings all

New first time flock tamer here! Mabel the Blackrock is channelling her inner mafia mother, they're all around the same age but she's already laying eggs and really has a bad attitude. Poor Gerty (Speckled) and Dillys (Bluebell) aren't allowed anywhere near the lettuce. Is this normal pecking order stuff, or are the underlings more likely to stand their ground when they're laying too?

I've made a flag for the evil crew's coop, don't want the neighbours to wander in unwarned!

Yes, normal pecking order. One will be leader, and all not-yet-laying will always be lowest in pecking order. Yes, highest ranking gets first dibs on treats, etc.
